A BOY aged only 15 appeared in court after beating two people up.

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons due to his young age, was charged with two counts of assault by beating and two counts of common assault.

The common assault charges were withdrawn.

According to court documents, the boy beat a male and female up in Bradford in April this year.

He pleaded guilty to both offences when he appeared before Bradford and Keighley Magistrates’ Court on July 18.

The boy was referred to the Bradford Youth Offender panel.

He had already been referred to the panel for several previous offences, so he was given an extended compliance period of two months, taking the total contract period to 12 months.
