Teen jailed for racially aggravated knife attack on Syrian refugee
TEENAGER Sean Gorman, who launched an unprovoked racist attack on a Syrian refugee, was jailed for more than eight years today.
The 18-year-old repeatedly stabbed Shabaz Ali at an Edinburgh hostel in the early hours of May 3 after confronting him over playing loud music.
Mr Ali fled to Scotland five years ago and was staying in the hostel temporarily as he looked for a new home when the “frenzied” attack took place.
