Machete Attack in Leicester | Leicester News

Two teens stormed a Leicester kebab shop with machetes in a brutal daylight attack fueled by a drug gang feud, slashing a 19-year-old dealer who fought back—leaving him critically injured but alive long enough to escape with cash and drugs. Despite family’s refusal to cooperate, both attackers pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm, admitting they were acting under pressure from higher-ups in the drug trade. A third suspect fled to Saudi Arabia, prompting an investigation into his mother.
