Teenager told nurse: I want to stab someone

Ready to get down and dirty on farm’s muddy challenge

A MUDDY fitness challenge returns this weekend.

The T3 Farm Challenge, which features an extreme 5k obstacle course, takes place at Still House Farm in Batley and raises money for Kirkwood Hospice.

In the four years it has taken place it has raised £23,480.44 for the Daltonbased hospice.

This year, it’s sponsored by The Session Station, the UK-wide fitness search engine.

Andrew Myatt, the website’s owner and director, has a personal reason for supporting the cause.

He said: “Any kind of charity work is brilliant but Kirkwood Hospice has a deep meaning with both me and my family.

“It’s where my mum was cared for.”

The event will see brave runners of all ages climbing enormous tyre mounds, swimming through ice cold water and diving, head first, down water drenched slides. There’s also a course for younger participants.

Those taking part will be treated to a special after party, with performances from local bands and DJs, with proceeds going to Yorkshire Down Syndrome Group.

Danny Thomas and James Ashton, who own the T3 Wellbeing Centre in Batley, created the event along with friends Katie Ellis and Sarah Brooks.

The T3 farm challenge will be held on Saturday.

Adult tickets cost £25 each and children’s tickets cost £10 each. this. He said that he’d previously received threats while part of a gang in Huddersfield but didn’t want to harm any women or children.”

The nurse said that Eason admitted that he had a knife and she asked him to hand it over to her.

The teenager then produced a lock knife from his jacket pocket.

It was described to the Huddersfield court as very large with a camouflage handle and six to eight inch blade.

The hospital’s arrived, removed the knife from Eason and police were called.

He was arrested upon his discharge following some treatment, magistrates were told.

Mr Wills added that the nurse expressed fear that Eason would snap and use the knife without any warning.

His response to being arrested was: “I’ve got to carry a knife – do you get me?”

Eason, of no fixed address, appeared in court in custody after disappearing shortly after his arrest.

In June last year he was prosecuted at the town’s youth court for possession of a bladed article.

Then he was given a Youth Rehabilitation Order over the offence, which happened when a friend passed him a knife and he placed it in his bag.

Jonathan Slawinski, mitigating, said that his client had a troubled history involving witnessing domestic violence within his home and moving in and out of various care systems.

He told magistrates that due to his past the teenager, not surprisingly, suffered from mental health issues.

Mr Slawinski added: “The comments you’ve heard him say in hospital were because he was hearing voices in his head and he did not use the knife against the staff.

“I never ask for a client to go to prison but he says he needs to get some space to get his head right.”

Eason faces a minimum of six moths in prison due to his second conviction for possessing a knife.

Magistrates told him that due to the severity of the case he must be sentenced by a crown court judge.

This will happen at Leeds Crown Court on September 4 and he was remanded in custody.
