A teenager who attacked a student on a cycle path in University Parks will not face a retrial, it was confirmed tonight.

Thomas Mack, 18, of Nicholas Avenue, Marston, Oxford, was convicted at Oxford Crown Court last week of causing grievous bodily harm to student Kentaro Ikeda and robbing him last July. The jury was undecided on a charge of causing GBH with intent but a retrial will not be held.

Mack will be sentenced on Friday, March 13.
