A man has been jailed for 16 years after stabbing a neighbour in the head.
Sadiq Sulemani, 20, attacked a man at an address in Lower Holyhead Road, Coventry, just before 05:50 BST on 20 February last year.
The man sustained significant head and facial injuries after the 20-year-old left the knife embedded and fled the scene, West Midlands Police said.
Sulemani was found guilty of attempted murder following a trial and was jailed at Warwick Crown Court on Friday.
The force added that the 20-year-old, of Lower Holyhead Road, had handed himself into the police a short time after he fled the scene.
PC Carly Philp said it was a "horrific attack" and there was "no justification for such extreme violence".
