Man who stabbed pubgoer in Greater Manchester for no reason is jailed

    A man who stabbed a pubgoer in a beer garden in Greater Manchester has been jailed.

    In 2009 Axon MacPhee from Salford, and who was 19-years-old at the time, was jailed for ten years for stabbing a 57-year-old taxi driver and leaving him with life-threatening injuries.

    Following his early release he then attacked a 20-year-old man with an 8in blade in the beer garden of the Town Hall pub in Eccles, on 28 October last year.

    MacPhee, now 27, has been jailed for four years, with an extended licence period of a year, after being sentenced at Manchester Crown Court.
