A man who was receiving hospital treatment after being stabbed has been jailed after police found a lock knife in his bag.
Jack Murray was taken to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary after being stabbed in South Shields on May 29 this year. But after receiving treatment, police officers searched his bag and found a lock knife inside. The 21-year-old, who refused to identify his attacker, was then arrested.
Murray, of Hexham Avenue, Hebburn, appeared at Newcastle Crown Court on Friday to be sentenced for possession of an offensive weapon. He had pleaded guilty to the charge at a previous hearing.
