DC Simon Ledbury, the investigating officer, said: “This was a shocking incident and such horrendous acts of violence will never be tolerated.
“We are committed to robustly dealing with knife crime across Avon and Somerset and we’ve worked tirelessly to ensure Khan faced justice.
“I’d like to thank the victim for their support throughout our investigation – he faced a terrifying attack but thankfully has made a full recovery.”

This is two tier policing/Justice how the hell can this crime be classed wit such a pathetic sentence whats going wrong with our justice system.
So attempted murder carries a lesser sentence than someone putting hurty words on social media.
