The 17-year-old was charged with wounding a person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, assault in the presence of others causing actual bodily harm, possessing or using a prohibited weapon without permission and breach of bail.

The couple was denied bail.

They will appear before Parramatta Bail Division Court on Saturday, February 28.
