A 16-year-old girl stabbed her best friend in the back because she thought she wanted to steal her boyfriend.
Eve Hewitson-Cross, 19, suffered a punctured lung and the blade narrowly missed her spine when she was attacked in Levensgarth Park, Fulwood, Preston.
She was only 17 when she was knifed twice on 1 March last year.
Eve’s attacker, who cannot be named for legal reasons, walked free from court this week when the judge gave her a lenient sentence due to her age and the current COVID-19 pandemic.
The girl was given a two-year rehabilitation order, a ten-year restraining order and will spend three months on a tag.
