A MACHETE-WIELDING teenager and another man have been jailed after an attack in High Wycombe.
Akeel Hussain, 19, and Asif Hussain, 23, both pleaded guilty to section 14, wounding with intent, after an incident in Victoria Street on Friday, June 27.
The two men were charged in July and sentenced last week following the attack on a 21-year-old man.
The teenager attacked the victim by swinging a machete at him several times, whilst Asif Hussain shouted words of encouragement and punched the victim in the chest, police say.
The victim sustained a 4cm laceration to the top of his scalp, a laceration to his tricep which was 3-4cms deep and superficial lacerations to his hand, officers added.
Akeel, from Wheelers Park, and Asif, from Plumer Road, were each sentenced to four years in prison.
