A police spokesperson previously said: “Jayden Mutange, 18, of no fixed address, has been charged with possession of a knife in a public place. He was remanded in custody to appear at Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court today (30 July).”
During the hearing Mutange was jailed for 10 months with him sent to a young offenders’ institution after he admitted a charge of possessing a knife.
