The man who attempted to murder an Asian dentist in a "revenge attack" for the killing of Lee Rigby has been given a life sentence. Zack Davies was told he will serve a minimum of 14 years in prison for attacking Dr Sarandev Bhambra with a machete in January.
The Crown Prosecution Service says Zack Davies carried out a "vicious, racist" attack on Dr Sarandev Bhambra.
"Zack Davies’ intention to cause extremely serious or even fatal injuries to Dr Bhambra was abundantly clear" said Senior Crown Prosecutor Gareth Preston.
“It was also clear from the evidence that the heroic actions of Peter Fuller may well have prevented this horrific attack from having a fatal outcome" he added.
"Dr Bhambra continues to deal with the consequences of this terrible incident. We hope that today’s sentencing will be of some assistance to him as he seeks to move forward with his life.”
Dr Sarandev Bhambra, from Leeds, suffered "life-changing" injuries in the attack, but has made a gradual recovery.
A man who tried to kill an Asian dentist in a racially-motivated attack at a north Wales supermarket will be sentenced today.
The trial of Zack Davies raises questions about extreme groups in Wales.
