A 16-year-old boy admitted to seriously injuring a man with a machete on Wright’s Lane last week.

Senior Magistrate Algernon Allen Jr arraigned the teenage defendant, whose name is withheld due to his age, on a grievous harm charge.

His guardian was present for the hearing.

Prosecutors said the defendant, along with an accomplice, attacked Clyde Rolle at 8.50pm on March 13. The accomplice allegedly used a pipe while the defendant wielded a machete.

Rolle suffered lacerations to his head, left arm, and neck, requiring hospital treatment.

The juvenile pleaded guilty and was granted $8,000 bail with one or two sureties until his probation report hearing on May 15.

Until then, he must abide by a 24-hour residential curfew.

Sergeant 3004 Forbes prosecuted the case.
