A CONVICTED thug has had his current detention term increased after stabbing a schoolboy on the bottom.

A CONVICTED thug has had his current detention term increased after stabbing a schoolboy on the bottom.

Halim Noor knifed the15-year-old, who was making his way home from his secondary school in Glasgow's South Side last March.

Noor yesterday admitted the attack at the city's sheriff court, which left his young victim needing hospital treatment.

The 17-year-old was locked up for 21 months at the same court in February for his part in a brutal assault on a man in Glasgow city centre.

Sheriff John Baird sentenced Noor to 14 months for this latest violent incident and ordered the term run consecutively with his present sentence.

Noor had claimed he was acting in self defence when arrested for stabbing the 15-year-old in the city's Raithburn Avenue, Castlemilk, on March 22 last year.

Gerry McMillan, defending, said Ugandan-born Noor claimed to have been racially abused by his victim,who cannot be named for legal reasons, in the past.

However, the lawyer admitted this could not excuse his actions that day.
