A black teenager who stabbed two racist thugs after being chased and subjected to vile abuse has been set free by the Court of Appeal.
Ibrahim Sarjo was hit with a tirade of unprovoked racist and homophobic insults, including the 'N-word', by Anthony Sweeney and Raymond Watkins as he walked with friends in Liverpool city centre at 7.30pm on Friday, June 17 this year.
Sarjo, of Elaine Street in Toxteth, tried to ignore the abuse and walked on with his female friends, but the two thugs chased him, leading to a violent confrontation near Queen Square bus station in which they suffered serious injuries.
