Detective Sergeant Darren Brown, from West Midlands Police CID, said after the case: ‘This was a totally unprovoked and unexpected attack on the victim.
‘He was lucky to escape with his life or at the very least more serious injury.
‘We continue our fight against knife crime across our regions, but convictions like this are only part of the story.
‘We’re working with schools, parents and others to get the message out about the devastating impact violence has on lives.’
