The 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is accused of chasing the group of friends along Gardner Street in Brighton’s North Laine before stabbing the trio.

A Sussex Police spokesman said the trio were chased by two people at around 11pm on January 12 this year.
Two 17-year-olds were arrested the following day and were bailed pending further enquiries.
Now, a 17-year-old from Brighton has been charged with two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, assault, possession of an offensive weapon and assaulting a police officer.
He appeared at Brighton Magistrates’ Court yesterday and has been remanded in custody.
He is due to appear in court again on Tuesday, June 11.
