A dad-of-one has been left scarred for life following a frenzied knife attack in a pub beer garden.
Arron Kenny, 25, was repeatedly stabbed in the neck and head with a Stanley knife after being caught up in a brawl outside the Newall Green pub in Wythenshawe. The assistant shop manager suffered shocking injuries including a gaping wound to the back of his neck.
He later shared horrific pictures of his wounds on Facebook along with the heartfelt plea: ''Put the knives down!'' Witnesses claimed the attacker, self-employed joiner Louis Edwards, 28, had been waving the knife about in the minutes before the stabbing - telling friends: “If you want to make a point cut his f****** face off. Slash his face up!''
