At the risk of coming across all Daily Fail comments section - how long should you get for that?

A lethal weapon, carried in public, with a clear and obvious intent to use it for GBH or murder? 20 years reduced to 10 for good behaviour I would hope.

What do you think he'll get? I'll be surprised if its a custodial sentence in the years rather than months but hopefully I'm wrong. That's if they even fucking catch him.

'Cyclist'. Fucking nut job that just happens to be on a bicycle more like. Looks gang related to me. London is fucked at the moment, stabbings in broad daylight in front of people seem commonplace, it's feeling lawless in some areas.

Good thing he had his stab proof polo on.

That. I can get a multi-tool into my cycling Jersey, but my Zombie Knife (first time I have heard that term) doesnt fit.

This cheered me up this morning (thanks Ed, think he's on here)

Yes I saw that

Refreshing to see after the first clip.

Why do we always have to sit through minutes of dullness to see the actual event on these videos? Is there a benefit to playing a 3 minute video over a 20 second clip?

That was a nicer story! The chap with the knife was pretty scary though.

I saw the clip last night - 20sec version - and had not realised it was an electric bike.

But no - i didnt need 3mins leadup to show me that. 40secs would have been optimal.

Just lucky the fucksock was slashing, rather than stabbing. Pointy objects and glass aren't the best mix.

I think 'massive knife against the window' is the point where I'd like to think I'd go full lock, 4000rpm and sidestep the clutch in reverse.

I mean, how is it possible to interpret someone mashing a huge blade in your direction as anything other than "I'm trying to kill you"?

Realistically, I'd probably also wait for the guy to run around the other side, then get out and scamper away

Youtube revenue only applies to videos over a certain length, which I think is 3 mins.

Liking that your 6 month response time was very much in keeping with the question!

Had he not been jailed since the incident, hence the release?

On remand. Actual sentence was a suspended one.
