A thug carried out a vicious machete attack on a schoolfriend over a drugs debt - then boasted on Instagram he was 'armed and dangerous' as he tried to flee the law.
Sayam Ali, 18, went on the run following a broad daylight assault with a 12-inch blade, which left his terrified 16-year-old victim bleeding so heavily he thought he would die. But he was caught at Manchester Airport attempting to board a flight to Malta.
As he was jailed yesterday (Thursday), his victim's mother described her son's attacker as 'the scum of the earth' amid fears her psychologically scarred child will be left permanently disabled.
