A violent racist who tried to murder an African man in a savage, unprovoked attack on the complete stranger was jailed for nine years.
Stephen McHarg and an accomplice launched the vicious murder bid on Ghanaian Abdul Koroma as he walked through the Knightsridge area of Livingston, where he lived with his family.
A judge told McHarg (28) at the High Court in Edinburgh: “One eye witness who saw the assault described you and your co-accused as being like hyenas.”
