Actor James McAvoyās half-brother has been sentenced to nšearly five years in prison for a road-rage attack in which a granddaāØd was stabbed and left for dead, according to reports.
Donald McAvoy, 31, and an unidentified accomplice launched the savage attack on a driver when he started ź¦Ætaking photos of the damage donše to his van when the pair crashed into it in Glasgow last March, .
Victim Mieczyslaw Bawor, a 57-year-old grandfather of three, was stabbed in the head by the unidentified attacker while McAvoy repeatedly hit him with a metal batošÆn, the outlet said of court testimony Monday.
āI heard, āGive me the knife and Iāll finish him off. Iāll kill him,'” Bawor told the Scottish paper. “Iām lucky the knife they had on them wasnāt bigger or Iād have been dead ā¦ The blood was everywhere,” he said.
The attackers slashed the tires on Bawor’s van and fled, leaving him with head, face and stomach wounds that medics said were potentially life-threatening, the Sun said.
McAvoy ā who has 43 previous convictions ā was IDed thanks to the initiaą¶£l photos his vš¹ictim took. His accomplice is still unknown, police said.
The “X-Men” star’s half-brother pleaded guilty to assault to severe injury and was sentenced to four years and 10 months in prison during Monday’s hearing at the High Court in Glasgow.
āHe has come here to accept his part in a nasty assault, which was totally unnecessary,” said his attorney, Donald Findlay, insisting the repeat offender planned to finally change his ways.
Judge Valeš rie Stacey ripped his āformidableā rap sheet as she also noted, āThis manź§ was badly injured, but it could have been much worse.ā
McAvoy aną·“d his 4ļ·ŗ1-year-old actor brother share the same dad, also James, but have never met each other, the Sun said.
