Justice Served
Zheng was arrested later that same morning. Yesterday, 16 March, he faced the judge for sentencing after earlier pleading guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Detective Constable Jonathan Duggan said: “This was a shocking act of violence that could have had far worse consequences and easily have resulted in the death of a man. Fortunately, following emergency surgery, the victim survived the attack and is recovering.
“I hope this sentence sends out a clear message that violence of any kind will not be tolerated, and we will bring offenders to justice.”
