Two teenagers have pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm after physically attacking a 17-year-old in Rhymney.

Eighteen-year-old Jack Challoner, of Merthyr Road, Rhymney Bridge, Llechryd, pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm. 

A 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named due to his age, pleaded guilty to the same offence.
