Justice has finally caught up with teenage tearaway Korrel Kennedy.
The 18-year-old catwalk model has held two fingers up to the law since he was just 13.
Model criminal Kennedy has been given chance after chance to mend his ways, but yesterday his luck ran out when a judge said he posed a high risk of danger to the public and jailed him for two-and-a-half years.
Kennedy, once dubbed Brighton’s worst teen, was caught on an undercover police camera chasing a man with a knife in the city centre.
He also threatened medics and security staff with surgical scissors as they tried to treat him at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton.
Kennedy, of Brunswick Place, Hove, was jailed at Hove Crown Court yesterday after admitting affray, possessing a bladed article and assault.
Judge David Rennie said: “There is a pattern developing and very real concern that unless you learn to control yourself and your temper the consequences could be very grave indeed.
“The experts have concluded that you pose a very high risk of further violent offending and serious harm to the public."
