A drug dealer who bragged that Cheetham Hill was 'his area' launched a terrifying machete attack as terrified members of the public passed by.
Mujtaba Saeed-Ahmed, 22, slashed at his victim following a bust-up.
The victim had confronted Saeed-Ahmed believing he had his girlfriend working for him.
The pair argued on the phone before Saeed-Ahmed arrived on Bury Old Road in a taxi, armed with a fearsome two foot long machete.
At around 7pm on a Monday night as members of the public watched on in horror, Saeed-Ahmed then hit him twice, and another two times after he fell to the floor.

Seriously? 7 years for almost killing a person?
-
How is that wounding with intent? That charge should have been attempted murder. Lock him up for life.
-
The legal system might be void of justice and forgive him after 7 years but society shouldn't.
-
It seems like these guys machetes are barely ever sharp enough
-
And you cant carry any sort of weapon to defend yourself against this.
-
7 years? Smh for that drug dealer 7 years just means he will probably serve 4-5 years come back and have the reputation for almost decapitating someone
-
Good old British law. "A bladed weapon"--- a bloody machete!! So its in the same category as a knife with a slightly longer blade than 3 inches?!
-
Unpopular opinion. If you attack anyone with a knife you get life in prison no perole. Too bad death penalty is not a thing in uk for clear cut crimes like this.

Comes from a peaceful community I believe

Cultural enrichment. Yes it is mostly the certain type of peoople and its more than obvious by now. If you are still in denial you are part of the problem. And these problems should be solved by all means necessary

If this was in America he'll get 25 years for attempted murder
