Machete attacker, 37, is jailed for 18 years after bin collector found his weapon and handed it in to police A man has been jailed for a ‘brutal’ machete attack which left his victim with life-changing injuries after a bin collector found the weapon and flagged down police. Noor Kayani, of Gatton Road, Wandsworth had met with the victim, who he knew, and stole his phone before punching him in the face after a row erupted between the two on June 21 at about 3.30pm. The victim said he momentarily lost his vision from the punch before instinctively lifting his arms to protect himself from the sudden machete blow that followed. He was left with nerve damage to his arm from the attack, which Kayani fled. Kayani, 37, has now been locked up for 18 years after being convicted of wounding with intent, having a blade and for possession of a Class B drug. Kingston Crown Court heard how on the day of the attack the victim happened to stumble onto the scene of a nearby unrelated incident and approached police cradling his arm in a “blood-soaked” jacket. He had suffered a deep laceration to his arm and was taken to hospital. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9321807/Machete-attacker-jailed-18-years-bin-collector-weapon-handed-police.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailUK
