Slash victim threatens revenge after attacker walks free

July 30, 2008

A SUDANESE man threatened to take the law into his own hands after a teen who slashed him across the face with a samurai sword walked free today.

"This is not fair," he said when the 12 month suspended sentence was handed down.

"I did not come all the way from Africa to be killed in Australia."

The man told the court he had been shot in the African war and then said to the youth "you're dead".

"I will take the law into my own hands," he said.
