A MURDER bid thug who attacked a man leaving him fearing he was going to die has been jailed for more than seven years.

Daniel Woods and an accomplice turned on Anthony Quinn at a flat in Glasgow's Drumchapel on February 23, 2024.

The victim was repeatedly stabbed and kicked resulting in him requiring emergency treatment in hospital.

He ended up having to get almost 100 stitches and staples removed for a number of nasty wounds.

Woods, 32, was today sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow.

He was locked up for seven years and four months having earlier admitted to an attempted murder charge.

Lord Colbeck cut the jail term from 11 years due to his guilty plea.

Woods will also be supervised for a further three years on his release.

Prosecutor Lucy Adams told how the Mr Quinn believed the two men who had come to the flat were there to speak to his partner.

He then went into the kitchen only to be followed by the assailants.

Woods had his jacket on with the hood up.

Miss Adams: "Woods headbutted Anthony Quinn before pulling a knife and stabbing him repeatedly."

The attack continued with the victim now on the ground. The unknown accomplice also booted Mr Quinn on the body.

Miss Adams said: "Anthony Quinn later gave an account that, during the course of the assault, he thought he was going to die and his son would lose his father."

The blood-soaked victim also recalled begging his partner to call an ambulance after the attackers fled.

Mr Quinn asked her who the pair were and she gave Woods's name as one of them.

Mr Quinn had serious injuries to his neck as well as a number of lacerations to his head, arms and hand.

The victim - who ended up in intensive care - required two emergency blood transfusions.

He was in hospital for more than a week before being able to leave.

Miss Adams said a total of 67 staples and 26 stitches had to be removed from multiple injuries.

The hearing was told Mr Quinn has since passed away due to unrelated causes.

Lord Colbeck described the crime as "exceptionally serious".
