A teenager is detained and accused after another boy’s hand is almost completely severed in a Perth park, police say. The accused teen allegedly attacks the victim, causing severe injuries, and then flees. The incident prompts a police response and a subsequent search.
According to reports from The West Australian and PerthNow, the accused teenager goes on the run for about six hours before being located. Both outlets describe the alleged cutting as near-total hand severance and report the detention following the search. Neither report attributes specific motives for the attack in the summaries provided.
The accounts are consistent on the core facts: a teen is accused in connection with an assault in a park; the victim’s hand is nearly chopped off; and the accused is on the run for several hours before being detained.
