A 16-YEAR-OLD youth is to stand trial in May following a stabbing in Huddersfield three months ago.

The teenager, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, entered a not guilty plea to a charge of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

The offence was allegedly committed on January 13.

The boy, who is prohibited from entering Huddersfield unless he is seeing his solicitors, made a brief appearance before Judge Jonathon Rose at Bradford Crown Court yesterday.

The court heard that his trial is due to last three days and will start in the week commencing May 9.

Judge Rose renewed the boy's bail until his trial.
