AN Accrington man has been sentenced to 10 months youth custody for his part in a knife attack on a schoolboy.

Kieran Edward Nockles, 20, also admitted threatening a pub landlady after he had made "tribal" cuts on his head and face.

Nockles, of Belfield Road, pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding and affray at Preston Crown Court.

David Macro, prosecuting, said a 16-year-old had already been sentenced for his part in the attack on the 15-year-old.

He was walking home to Accrington on a path near Mount Carmel High School, Wordsworth Road, when approached by the pair.

Mr Macro said the affray took place on August 15 at the Spinning Jenny pub in Accrington.
