An armed gang who used a weapon to attack an unarmed teenager in a Warwickshire town have been jailed. The gang of four including Alanzo Scarlett, of Pershore Road in Birmingham , chased a then 18-year-old in Clifton Road in Rugby town centre shortly before 5pm on July 31, 2020. They then attacked him with a machete causing multiple stab wounds. He was taken to hospital and required emergency surgery to repair a punctured lung.

Scarlett, 26, Ashu, 25, of Phipps Avenue, Rugby and Pun, 24, of Morton Gardens, Rugby and the unnamed man were all arrested, interviewed and subsequently charged with violent disorder and the machete attack. All four pleaded guilty to violent disorder at Warwick Crown Court earlier this year.

They appeared at the same court last Friday (March 28) where Scarlett was jailed for 26 months for violent disorder. Pun and Ashu were jailed for 36 months for violent disorder and 12 months for s20 assault, to be served concurrently. The fourth man will be sentenced at a later date.
