A hammer attacker who mounted a 'revenge attack' on a man in Easton has been jailed. Somali Army veteran Abdulqani Hamdan attacked his victim in Stapleton Road in January 2020, Bristol Crown Court heard.
Hamdan, 43, of Croydon House, denied wrongdoing but was convicted of wounding with intent and possessing an offensive weapon. Judge Julian Lambert jailed him for four years and issued him an indefinite restraining order banning him from all contact with the complainant.
The judge told him: "You continue to deny responsibility, there is no remorse from you. This was a hammer attack, you went out in search of your man in a dispute with the other man.
