Gang member jailed for pitchfork attack

A 22yr old man in Scotland has been jailed for stabbing a 13yr old with a pitchfork.

Edmond Eccles was a gang member with a record of violent assaults and anti-social behaviour. He attacked a group of teenagers while drunk one night visiting his hometown of Alva (he had previously been banned from visiting much of Central Scotland for terrorising shopkeepers and residents).

At the time of his arrest, Eccles bit one police officer on the leg, threatening: "I'll get a bomb and blow you up. I'll kill your family. I'll murder your children. I'll be chopping your heads off, shooting your family and setting you on fire, great balls of fire, I'm a psycho."
