Teen stabbed twice in carpark outside Canberra school
A 16-year-old was slashed twice with a flick knife in a carpark brawl involving two older teens at the Canberra school.
Ibrahim Dweiher, 18, and Soufiane Arjeuan, 19, are accused of attacking a 16-year-old boy in the carpark at Lake Tuggeranong College on November 2. The ACT Magistrates Court viewed footage showing several people fighting near a red car.
Prosecutors say Arjeuan punched the boy before Dweiher slashed him twice with a flick knife. The boy suffered a 15-centimetre cut to his forearm and a cut to his hand.
Court documents show Dweiher was injured when he lost control of the knife. Dweiher was released on bail Friday with strict conditions amounting to house arrest, though he can attend his college to study.
Arjeuan remains in custody. Both face charges including grievous bodily harm and affray.
