Postcode terror: Teen trio jailed for brutal park stabbing

Three youths who demanded to know if a boy was “from the area” carried out a brutal knife attack in a Birmingham park, leaving a teenager fighting for his life after hours of surgery.

Three teenagers have been jailed for a combined total of almost 13 years after admitting a vicious stabbing of a 15-year-old boy in a Birmingham park, an attack which left the victim requiring hours of emergency surgery

The assault took place in Morris Park, off Raymond Road in Alum Rock, in March last year, when Ibrahim Ishfaq, Mohammed Hasan and a 17-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons confronted the teenager during the evening

The court heard the victim was asked whether he was from the area and, after replying that he was not, was pinned against a metal fence
