Teen jailed for stabbing man twice in four days
Norfolk ConstabularyA teenager has been jailed for stabbing a man twice in four days in a city centre.
Police said doctors commented the victim was "lucky to be alive" after suffering wounds "dangerously" close to major arteries when he was stabbed six times in his arms, legs and chest in Brazen Gate, Norwich, on 18 December.
He needed surgery following the knife attack and told police he had also been stabbed by the same man four days beforehand in Castle Mall.
Riley Mckinley-Green, 18, of Drayton Road, Norwich, admitted two counts of wounding with intent and one of affray before being jailed for four years and nine months at Norwich Crown Court on Tuesday.
He will serve another further four years on licence.
Mckinley-Green was arrested by police at a local address.
He was also charged with affray after being identified on CCTV threatening a boy in his late teens, while in possession of a knife, on Hall Road, Norwich, on 13 December.
Det Con Cameron Brown said: "Mckinley-Green was intent on being violent and involved himself in a number of incidents which could have ended someone's life.
"Norfolk Police will not stand for knife crime in our county.
"We work tirelessly to remove weapons and dangerous individuals from our streets and will continue to do so."
