A doctor who was nearly killed in a terrifying random knife attack in his home has stood up in court and wished his attacker all the best.
Dr Adam Towler was subjected to a terrifying ordeal when teenager Chanz Maximen unleashed the frenzied stab attack but Dr Towler used his time in court, face to face with Maximen, to stress that he bore the teen no ill will.
On the day Maximen was jailed for life at Bristol Crown Court, the doctor opened up to Maximen and the court about his feelings, and he stressed that he was not upset or angry with him.
