Last updated 27th Sep 2024
The 17-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons pled guilty in court to violent disorder.
He's the latest to be charged for the disorder which happened in Bordesley Green on August 5 2024.
He was seen in a Range Rover which was later driven to the Clumsy Swan Pub.
The teenager then got out and started kicking the door of the pub.
The group the 17-year-old was with also attacked a man who was stood outside the pub at the time.
He was given a 12-month referral order, meaning he’ll work with youth services.
He was arrested after images issued by West Midlands Police of the disorder in Birmingham.
The police are now using the same tact in the hope to arrest more suspects.
They've renewed their appeal and said they have had a great response so far with a number of suspects arrested and charged.
Thanks to information from the public, 24 people have arrested over the disorder in August, with 12 people charged with a total of 21 offences.
