Good afternoon, I'm hoping to get some information.
I will try to briefly explain the situation.
I was walking on the street when teenager (who I thought was an adult as it was dark and I couldn't quite see his face) yells out to me that he is going to "stab me" "kill me right here on the spot" and to "give him my money" he never produced a weapon, but he had been fiddling with his bag and waist band. It turned into me running and him chasing me, I managed to call 000 and the police caught up with us eventually while he was running after me. They never found a weapon.
When I spoke to the police, they asked me how far away he was when he demanded my money, we came to the conclusion it was around 10 metres. The officers were talking to each other and mentioned "do you want to take him in for attempted."
They asked if I was willing to make a statement I agreed. Later I had found out he was 15 and not an adult as I originally thought.
Without any clear evidence such as a recording of the incident, what possible charges (if any) does he face if I do go and make a statement?
I don't exactly what to ruin his life if this is a serious matter but he does need to be taught a lesson.
any information would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
