"Getty Images A teenage boy has received an eight-month detention and training order for throwing a seat 50ft (15m) off the top floor of an east London shopping centre. The 16-year-old and another youth, both of whom cannot be named because of their age, were arrested after a video filmed at Westfield in Stratford on 1 March went viral. The video of the incident allegedly filmed by one of the boys was shown to Stratford Magistrates' Court."
"The 16-year-old pleaded guilted to causing public nuisance and criminal damage but is appealing his sentence, with a hearing scheduled for 29 September at Snaresbrook Crown Court. The other boy, 15, denied the charges and is due to go on trial in December. A detention and training order means the 16-year-old will spend half his sentence in a young offender institution and half served in the community."
