The two alleged attackers, who can’t be named for legal reasons, deny wounding with intent to cause actual bodily harm.

One of the boys has also denied charges of attempted robbery and having an offensive weapon in a public place.

A two-day trial at Leicester magistrates’ court has been adjourned and is due to continue next week.
