(Evening Standard)- A 20-year-old man left his victim for dead after stabbing him twice in the chest in an unprovoked attack in west London.
Mohad Mohamed, known as 'Little M', was jailed to ten years for wounding with intent to cause GBH at Kingston Crown Court on Friday.
Police were called at about 11.35pm on July 14 last year to Richmond Road, Isleworth, and found the victim with two stab wounds to his chest.
Members of the public had rushed to help him and were giving him first aid.
It is thought that without the public's help the victim would have bled to death.
He was taken by London Ambulance Service to St Mary's Hospital and required emergency surgery in order to save his life.
Detective Constable Tony Williams, from Hounslow CID, said: "This was a shocking attack for no apparent reason which left the victim with severe life-threatening injuries.
"If it wasn't for the quick-thinking members of the public that rushed to his aid, it's very likely that the victim would have bled to death.
"The lengthy sentence handed to Mohamed reflects the seriousness of the offence and the injuries he caused."
Mohamed was originally charged with attempted murder but pleaded guilty to wounding with intent to cause GBH at Kingston Crown Court on January 11
