manchestereveningnews.co.ukFour men have been jailed for their part in a ‘brutal’ and ‘savage’ attack that has left an affiliate of a rival gang blind in one eye and scarred ‘joker style’ for life.
The ‘tit-for-tat’ drugs gang turf war took place over 18 months in Rochdale before exploding in a culmination of violence on the evening of October 5 2021.
The horror attack on this evening involved a VW Golf, being driven by Hasan Alam, being rammed and flipped three or four times before an ‘armed gang’ surrounded the victim, armed with a machete, axe, baseball bat, combat knife, and chainsaw.
He was hacked at, beaten, and slashed with these weapons, before being doused with ammonia. The attack only ceased when members of the public called the emergency services, with people rushing to the aid of the man.
