LONDON: A man who attacked a Sikh trainee dentist with a machete in a racist assault intended as revenge for the slaying of a British soldier by Muslim extremists was convicted on Thursday of attempted murder.
Zack Davies struck Sarandev Bhambra in the head with a footlong (30-cm) blade in a supermarket in Mold, Wales, in January. Witnesses said they heard Davies shout “white power” and “this is for Lee Rigby.”
Rigby was run down with a car and stabbed to death in a London street in May 2013 by two men inspired by Islamic extremism.
A former soldier, Peter Fuller, managed to get between Davies and his victim and stop the attack. Bhambra, 24, suffered what prosecutors called “lifechanging” injuries.
Prosecutors said white supremacist material was found at Davies’ home.
