A young boy who thought he had been punched "felt like he was going to die" after realising he had been stabbed.
Officers were called to reports of a stabbing at Our Lady of Compassion Formby Parish, on School Lane, on Tuesday, March 8 last year. At the scene a 16-year-old boy was found with serious injuries and taken to hospital for treatment.
Sonny Collins and Micky Teany, both 19, appeared before the court on Thursday after being charged in connection to the incident. Liverpool Crown Court heard how the schoolboy had travelled to Formby to find his brother who had had his bike stolen earlier that same evening by the two men.
