Jealous husband sliced off part of a man's ear for saying 'hi' to his wife

A Jealous husband sliced off part of a man's ear because he said "hi" to his wife.

Ajmal Mahroof, a father-of-five, let his emotions overtake him when he saw the victim walking through a park, He then confronted him and asked, "you have been talking to my wife - why?"

He went on to physically attack the man, during which he cut off a piece of his ear. The victim was left permanently disfigured and scarred from the wound after surgeons had to stitch his left ear back together after the attack.

A judge said Ajmal's reaction was "over-the-top". He said all that happened between Mahroof's wife and the victim was an "exchange of greetings".

Leeds Crown Court heard Mahroof carried out the attack close to Hyrstlands Park, Batley, West Yorkshire, on October 17 last year.

Mahroof, 37, was jailed for four years after pleading guilty to wounding with intent and possession of a blade in public.

According to Mirror UK, Mahroof then struck him to the side of the head, causing a cut to the ear. He then hit him again, causing cuts to his fingers. A third blow struck him again on the ear, slicing part of it off.

Mahroof, of Dewsbury, West Yorkshire in England, was arrested after a member of the public who witnessed the incident took a picture of his car.

Mahroof has previous convictions for violence and drugs offences.
