A teenager has been given a nine-year custodial sentence after stabbing a man in Blackburn.
Officers were called to Dalton Close at 2.50pm on August 5, last year, to reports a man in his 20s had suffered a single stab wound to the abdomen.
Although his condition was described as life-threatening at the time, thanks in part to the quick actions of his neighbours and officers at the scene in coming to the victim’s aid, that did not prove to be the case.
Following enquiries 19-year-old Moosaji, was arrested later that same day on suspicion of attempted murder.
Last week Moosaji, of Dalton Close, Blackburn, was found guilty of Section 18 wounding and possession of an offensive weapon following a trial at Preston Crown Court.
He was found not guilty of attempted murder.
He was sentenced to nine years in a young offenders institution.
