An 18-year-old man has been jailed for 16 years for stabbing three men in an unprovoked attack in Sheffield.

He denied a charge of attempted murder but pleaded guilty to three counts of causing grievous bodily harm.
Waite was jailed on Wednesday alongside Osman Adan, 19, also from Burngreave, who admitted a charge of affray and was sentenced to 12 months.
The incident took place in Division Street, Sheffield, in September 2017
One of the three men attacked suffered serious injuries to his stomach.
Det Con Matt Welsh said: "Waite's unprovoked and dangerous actions that night put lives at risk and the injuries suffered by several of the victims could have proved fatal."
