Teenager jailed for brutal assault on motorist who feared for his life

A motorist was savagely attacked by teenage robbers who stole his Mercedes car in a bury city centre. The man said he thought 'it was the end' during the terrifying incident, but brave bystanders intervened.

Aaron McKenna, then 18, sped off in the expensive car after its owner had been punched, repeatedly kicked to the face and threatened that he'd be stabbed. His accomplice was apprehended but brazen McKenna even tried to bargain with them after his friend had been caught, the ManchesterEveningNews reports.

While members of the public detained the teenager, McKenna made a phone call to his pal from the stolen Mercedes. But the phone was handed to police, and the car was later found on false plates and returned to its owner.
