A thug was caught on the run in Europe after he slashed his friend's neck with a knife and left him with permanent brain damage in a sickening attack in Manchester.
Petre Dumitru left his victim fighting for his life following the attack in Westbury Road, Crumpsall, in the early hours. His victim, who was also a Romanian national, was left with permanent brain damage, epilepsy and impaired mobility on his left side.
Following the attack of June 2, 2019, Dumitru fled England and was only arrested in the Netherlands in December 2021 after being on the run for over two years.
