He died a short time later.<\/p>\n The pair, who police say knew each other, allegedly bumped into each other on a bus and exchanged words before the teenager allegedly chased Robson about 20 metres down the street.<\/p>\n Early on Saturday, police went to a house in the Central Coast suburb of Lake Haven and found the boy hiding under a bed. He was arrested and charged over Robson\u2019s death.<\/p>\n A 45-year-old woman at the property was also taken into custody and charged with hindering the investigation.<\/p>\n The boy did not apply for bail at the Children\u2019s Bail Court on Saturday. His lawyer Javid Faiz said he was seeking to have the matter dealt with under the Mental Health Act.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a tragic matter. It involves young people. There\u2019s no doubt that this is devastating to the community,\u201d Faiz told Nine News outside the court.<\/p>\n The woman was granted conditional bail ahead of a court mention listed for August 11 at Wyong Local Court.<\/p>\n A fundraising page has been set up on behalf of Robson\u2019s family to cover the costs of his funeral.<\/p>\n \u201cOur family was devastated by the sudden and tragic loss of a much-loved son, grandson, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and friend,\u201d the site says.<\/p>\n \u201cAt just 22 years old, his life was taken far too soon in a senseless act of knife violence in Gosford.
