The boy told his murder trial at Leeds Crown Court how he did not even realise at the time that he had injured Alfie Lewis, 15, during the incident in the Horsforth area of Leeds in November last year. He said: 'I was just trying to protect my own life.' Giving evidence on Monday, the teenager, who was 14 at the time, described how he had never taken a knife to school before, but he was frightened of Alfie following an incident a week before.
The boy said: 'At the time I didn't know, think anything had happened.' He added: 'I thought he was going to grab my jacket, pull out a knife from his trousers and start stabbing me.' The defendant went on to describe how Alfie 'flung himself back' and started to kick up at him. The boy said he ran off and dropped the knife because he 'realised he was no longer a threat'.
