Obeidulla Waffa, 22, is on trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court for the attempted murder of a man in Smethwick last August when he hacked him with machete in front of a shocked crowd.

Giving evidence behind a curtain, a witness called Mr Mohammed told the jury he saw the shocking attack in a park, where he had arranged to meet his friend.

He said: "His face was screwed up from the moment he walked in. I saw him say a few sentences to the victim and then pull a machete out. It was very big. He pushed it into him a couple of times. And then I saw the victim fall to the floor."
