A 15-YEAR-OLD girl who came out of the kitchen brandishing two knives stabbed a fellow partygoer on Christmas Eve.

Blackburn magistrates heard the teenage victim suffered a stab wound to his stomach which required hospital treatment.

The court was told the youngsters had been messing around and the stabbing had not been deliberate.

But the magistrates said that on any version of the incident it was clearly a serious offence which had passed the custody threshold.

The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to assaulting the boy causing him actual bodily harm on the basis that she had been reckless rather than deliberate.

She was remanded on bail for the preparation of a pre-sentence report.

Catherine Allan, prosecuting, said a party was being held in the defendant’s house, cannabis had been smoked and alcohol drunk.

A witness described her ‘pricking’ him several times before one lunge caught his stomach. The wound started bleeding.

Colleen Dickinson-Jones, defending, said the aggrieved had threatened to hit her dog.

“She accepts it wasn’t sensible to play around with knives in this way.

Mrs Dickinson-Jones said the aggrieved said in his statement that her client was shocked when he said she had stabbed him.

“Nobody who was present believed it to be a deliberate act,” she added.
