A petty row over a £1 coin for a shopping trolley at a B&M store ended in a vicious knife fight. Gary Layhe and another man both pulled knives on each other following the shocking incident in Kirkby, Merseyside.
A brave member of the public disarmed Layhe and unsuccessfully tried to take the blade from the other knifeman, Liverpool Crown Court heard. The row was sparked by a disagreement over a £1 coin for a shopping trolley, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Prosecutor Gerald Baxter said: "Layhe took hold of the other man from behind in a chokehold and that the man received two wounds to the side of his neck and a small wound to the back of his neck. The defendant, Layhe, received two wounds to the back of his wrist and hand."
