A teenager has pleaded guilty to stabbing a boy near the Oasis Leisure Centre.
Emergency services were called to a serious assault at the skatepark close off North Star Avenue at around 11.20am on Wednesday (14 January).
A 16-year-old boy was rushed to hospital with stab wounds following the knife attack.
The suspect, a 17-year-old boy, was arrested near the scene and remanded in custody to appear at Swindon Magistrates Court today (Thursday).
The defendant, who can’t legally be named due to his age, admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon – namely a knife – in a public place.
He was remanded into youth detention, and will return for sentencing on 27 February.
