According to witnesses, the assailant approached the victim in broad daylight before launching a sudden and vicious attack. The victim, who sustained serious injuries, was rushed to hospital but has since been discharged.

During the trial, the defendant showed no remorse, even smirking as the guilty verdict was read out. Prosecutors described the attack as "unprovoked and senseless," while the judge condemned the teen's lack of empathy.
