Teen accused of striking schoolmate in head gets bail

A 14-YEAR-OLD schoolboy has been granted bail after appearing in court charged with serious bodily harm.

This stemmed from an altercation at a rural school on Tuesday in which another 14-year-old boy was struck in the head.

He has been hospitalised and his condition is listed as stable.

The accused appeared before Magistrate Laurie-Ann Smith-Bovell in the District ‘B’ Magistrates’ Court today.

He was granted bail at the sum of $1 000 with one surety, to reappear in court on June 28. (PR/NB)
