A man who stabbed his nephew in an argument over a takeaway meal has been jailed for 19 months.
Robert Kenna, 41, was living with his sister and her 28-year-old son Anthony Kenna.
Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that a row erupted after Robert returned home with a kebab meal, and Anthony was angry that he didn't have any food for him.
Robert admitted the attack in Glasgow's Barmulloch on January 10 2024.
Sheriff Gerard Bonnar said: "The use of a weapon in this manner in all the circumstances is very serious indeed.
"Only a custodial sentence is appropriate."
Prosecutor Ryan Watson said: "Anthony Kenna was upset that Robert Kenna didn't bring anything home for him.
"Anthony grabbed the kebab sauce from Robert which angered him. Robert flipped the table which caused his food to fall to the floor."
The pair then went to their bedrooms before Robert returned with a knife and the attack took place.
Ian Sievwright, defending, said the offence was "out of character" for his client.
He said: "He is candid about his behaviour and has shown appropriate empathy for the victim and understands the harm that he caused."
