Warsame Ibrahim Sheffield: Knife-wielding attacker who stabbed man at party jailed for 10 years
A Sheffield man who stabbed another man at a party, nearly killing him in a ‘ferocious attack’, has been jailed for 10 years.
Warsame Ibrahim left a 29-year-old man fighting for his life in hospital after he was stabbed at a party in Fox Hill following a night out. Officers found blood-stained cushion covers in the washing machine at an address on Edge Well Way, where the party had taken place in May this year, as well as two knives and a large Rambo-style knife hidden under the sofa.
Detective Constable Arron Connolly said: “This was a violent attack that left a man fighting for this life after being stabbed multiple times, including one near the heart. Ibrahim has been brought to justice for his actions and is now behind bars for what was a ferocious attack that could have left a man dead.”
Ibrahim, aged 27, of Dorset Street, Sheffield, pleaded guilty to wounding with intent. He was sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court on Monday, October 31 to 10 years in prison. DC Connolly added: “Our message to those intent on carrying and using knives is clear – drop the knife before you do irreparable damage.”
South Yorkshire Police were called to Fox Hill Road after members of the public had seen a man collapse in the street. Emergency services found the man with multiple stab wounds and he was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Detectives established the attack had taken place at the property on Edge Well Way, where they found the cushion covers and knives, after a series of enquiries. Ibrahim was later arrested.
