Two teenagers accused of wounding a toddler and attempting to rob his mother will appear at Highgate Magistrates Court today.

A 16-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy are accused of causing grievous bodily harm to a three-year-old boy in an assault which left him with a fractured leg.

The youths, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were bailed after appearing at court yesterday.
