Teen to be sentenced over Market Square incident

The 14-year-old boy, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, admitted the offence under section 4 of the Public Order Act at a hearing at Hastings Youth Court.

Police were called to Market Square in Battle on Monday August 30 following reports that a man had been attacked.

The 39-year-old victim was taken to hospital with a head wound, but released from the Conquest Hospital the next day.

The 14-year-old is expected to be sentenced later this month.

He has been released on conditional bail.
