A man has been jailed for 11 years after stabbing two men in the face in a mass brawl outside a nightclub in Bradford
21-year-old Rohaan Akhtar was charged with two counts of Section 18 wounding with intent after a fight erupted outside The Village nightclub at 4.30am on July 21.
He pleaded guilty to all the offences when he made his first appearance at Bradford Magistrates' Court on July 23.
Altogether, five men were wounded in the fight however, Akhtar only received two charges after only one of the victims co-operated with the police investigation
When sentencing Akhtar, Judge Durham Hall said: "Your family see nothing but good in you, but to behave like this, regardless of the consequences, shows you possess the ability to inflict serious harm should the opportunity arise.
"What is particularly important and troubling in this case is not just the gratuitous use of a knife against one man and creating deeply troubling injuries, but the other man who was caught up in this on his way home.
"You went a distance and stabbed him."
Injuries sustained by victims of the attacks included one man who had suffered a 10cm laceration near his temple and a cut near his mouth, requiring 40 stitches, and a second man who suffered a 4cm wound on his forehead.
