The Sofia District Prosecutor's Office prosecuted a 17-year-old foreign citizen who inflicted bodily harm on a minor boy with a knife.

On September 23, on "Pirotska" Street in Sofia, the accused, by striking the victim with a knife in the abdomen, caused an injury to the abdominal wall.

In this case, pre-trial proceedings have been initiated for a crime punishable by "imprisonment".

So far, in the course of the investigation, witnesses have been interviewed and the scene of the accident has been inspected.

Expertises have been appointed.

The accused is not a citizen of Bulgaria and has no permanent address.

Given this and the possibility that he might abscond or commit another crime, the prosecutor on duty ordered his detention for a period of up to 72 hours.

An application is due to be submitted to the court on Monday to hear a case for a remand "in custody" against the accused.
