Issac Francis, 22, was handed a community order
A thug who stabbed a man twice in Piccadilly Gardens took smiling selfies outside Manchester Crown Court after he was spared jail for the attack.
The court heard how in March last year Francis, of Carrfield Avenue, Little Hulton, ran up behind a man who was being attacked by three others in the Piccadilly Gardens area and stabbed him twice with a knife in the left buttock. His victim was rushed to Manchester Royal Infirmary where he received stitches for two two centimetre stab wounds.
Representing Francis in court, Nicola Carroll said Francis had “genuine remorse” for his actions in March last year and that the offence had been the “wake up call he needed”.
