A jobless man has been jailed for four years after attacking a shopkeeper with a knife.
Ian Morrison, 39, of Hampden Road, Harringay, went into the shop in the Turnpike Lane area, waited for other customers to leave, went behind the counter and lunged at the man with a knife.
The 33-year-old defended himself, hitting Morrison over the head and pushing him out of the shop during the incident, at 7.30am on August 24.
The worker suffered several cuts to his face and head in the struggle, and Morrison received a head wound.
He was traced from blood found on a hat he was wearing that was knocked off in the struggle, and was arrested at home on September 9.
He admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm and was given an extended sentence at Wood Green Crown Court on Thursday, December 2, of four years plus an extra period on licence of one year and 82 days.
