The boy suffered serious injuries to his face, hands and buttocks.

Michael Oluyitan, 21, of Waynflete Road, Barton, previously pleaded guilty at Oxford Crown Court to inflicting grievous bodily harm without intent.

Police brought in temporary stop-and-search powers following the attack, which was one of three stabbings in Blackbird Leys in a fortnight.
