Two teenagers accused of wounding a toddler and trying to rob his mother are due to appear in court today.

A 16-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy are accused of attempting to rob a 20-year-old woman of her handbag at Philip Lane on March 25.

The boys are also accused of causing grievous bodily harm to a three-year-old boy in the robbery, which left the child with a fractured leg.

The 15-year-old is also accused of assaulting a police community support officer in the same incident.

The pair, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were remanded in custody to appear at Tottenham Magistrates Court, Lordship Lane, today.
