Two young men have been jailed after a man was subjected to a vicious machete attack in Salford - “miraculously” escaping serious injury.
Rio Smith, 19, and Kieran Lawrence, 25, were both involved in the “terrifying” attack on the man in October last year, which saw Smith “hack” at the man with a machete.
Geoff Whelan, prosecuting, told the Manchester Crown Court that problems began on October 3, when Smith stole the victim’s Volvo V40 after they were drinking together in a pub in Swinton and had a “falling out”.
The victim phoned several members of Smith’s family in an attempt to get his car back, with Smith threatening to “slice his face off” on at least two occasions, before the victim headed to his sister’s house in Salford the next morning where she called Smith and asked him to bring the car back so her brother could go to work.
