A schoolboy who allegedly stabbed a fellow pupil in the arm will face a crown court hearing.
The 15-year-old appeared at Eastbourne Youth Court charged with unlawful and malicious wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
He is alleged to have stabbed a 14-year-old boy in the arm during a playground fight on September 5.
The court heard the victim received treatment at an East Grinstead hospital for a severed radial artery.
No pleas were entered and magistrates decided to send the matter to Lewes Crown Court. The hearing was adjourned until November 12.
