Knife attack man jailed

Terence Payne had been drinking with his victim William Wilson, 55, in the Beech Hotel, Tong Road, Leeds, before they had a dispute.

The argument led to Payne stabbing his victim before he was grabbed by another man. Mr Wilson collapsed and was taken to hospital where he was found to have two stab wounds, one to his abdomen and one in his thigh.

He had emergency surgery and made a good recovery but declined to make a complaint indicating he did not want his attacker prosecuted.

Payne, 48 of Selby Road, Leeds, admitted wounding Mr Wilson with intent.
