A Bristol doctor who nearly died when he was randomly stabbed in his home came to court and wished his attacker all the best for the future. Dr Adam Towler was subjected to a terrifying ordeal when teenager Chanz Maximen unleashed the attack in October 2019.
But on the day Maximen was jailed for life, the Clifton-based doctor open up to Maximen and the court about his feelings. And he stressed that he was not upset or angry with him.
Dr Towler, 53, told him: "I wish I could wave a magic wand and undo what has happened to us - but I can't, so we have to get on with life in whatever form that takes. I've tried to share some of what it was and is like for me.
