A TEENAGE thug who stabbed a passer-by during a city centre brawl has been sentenced.

The 15-year-old lashed out at Fraser Watt near Glasgow Central station on July 19, 2021.

The attacker was earlier involved in a confrontation with two unknown men.

Co-accused Caitlyn MacKay, 24, repeatedly punched one of the men during the melee.

Mr Watt's friend Andrew Wilson had tried to play peacekeeper to separate the feud.

He was then charged at along with Mr Watt who was subsequently stabbed on the shoulder requiring hospital treatment.

The teenage first offender pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assaulting Mr Watt, possession of a knife and behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.

MacKay, of the city’s Lambhill, meantime admitted assaulting one of the unknown men and will be sentenced next month. 

The teenager was ordered to do 200 hours of unpaid work and put under supervision for two years. 

The court heard that the teen and MacKay were intoxicated near the train station.

They were in the company of an unknown man and a woman.

A second unknown man appeared and spoke with MacKay before the teenager was involved in an altercation with him.

The teenager was in possession of a knife at the time.

The pair were involved in a second altercation - the man knocked the teen to the ground with his holdall.

MacKay and the first unknown man pursued the other man into the train station.

Prosecutor Katie Bell said: "They both struck out at him with their fists.

"The two unknown men fell to the ground and whilst on the ground the first man punched him.

"MacKay then punched the second unknown man to the back."

MacKay went on to scream "he's only 15 you f***ing paedo" while brandishing a glass bottle.

MacKay and the first unknown man exited the station where he then punched the boy.

He told him: "Get to f***, stop causing bother."

The first unknown man was told by passer-by Mr Wilson to leave the teenager alone before being pushed.

A further passer-by Mr Watt assisted in pushing the teenager away.

The teen then charged at Mr Wilson and Mr Watt.

Miss Bell said: "The teenager raised his arm up high and stabbed Mr Watt to the rear shoulder in a downward motion with the knife which bled."

Police officers later apprehended the teenager while Mr Watt was taken to hospital.

His wound was cleaned and he was given three stitches before being discharged.

The court heard a week later that police monitoring the city's Possilpark area observed two young men - one of which had a knife.

Officers attended at a nearby takeaway and noticed the teenager remove a knife from his waistband and leaned into the shop.

This was the same boy involved in the previous incident near Glasgow Central. 

The teenager was arrested and was noted to be under the influence and swaying on his feet.

While in a police car he said: "F*** yous, f***ing c***s, take these f***ing cuffs off."

The boy continued his aggressive behaviour while in custody and vomited several times.

He said: "I'm going to stab f*** out that c*** you don't need to know, it's family business, I'm going to murder that c***."

The boy then went on to call officers: "Dirty protestant b******s."

He then made racist and homophobic remarks before being held in custody until he sobered up.
