A YOUNG businessman was jailed for seven-and-a-half years yesterday for knife attacks.
Sher Khan, 20, assaulted a man and a woman at a bookmakers shop in Glasgow on 28 April last year after being freed on bail a month before.
A judge told Khan at the High Court in Edinburgh: "You perpetrated quite considerable violence against them with a knife."
But Lord Brailsford added that he accepted the attacker, who had a university place to study business, had "considerable entrepreneurial skills".
The judge told Khan: "You are plainly a person of some considerable intelligence."
Khan, of Rutherglen, Glasgow, was earlier convicted of attempting to murder Gerald Byrne outside a branch of Ladbrokes. He also assaulted Deborah Tait at the bookmakers.
