A 20-year-old man, Jordan McFarlane, has been sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison for stabbing a drug user in an unprovoked attack. The incident occurred in Tennyson Road, Worthing, on the evening of July 26.
The 32-year-old victim, described as a vulnerable drug user, suffered two stab wounds in the attack. He was promptly taken to the hospital, where he was treated for serious, albeit non-life-threatening, injuries. The victim had arranged to meet McFarlane to purchase drugs when he was unexpectedly assaulted by the younger man.
