A science student who forced a Manchester college campus to go into lockdown after he stabbed two other teenagers following a row over a girl was jailed this month.

Mohammed Alsarayefi was just 17 when he knifed his victims in a fight outside the canteen at The Manchester College's Shena Simon Campus after an argument erupted during a morning coffee break over a post he left on Snapchat.

A fellow student, then 18, had just read on social media that his ex-girlfriend was dating Alsarayefi and confronted him.

But he was left fighting for his life after being stabbed in the chest, back and upper arm. The teenager suffered a partially-collapsed lung. A third student, also 18, suffered a knife wound to his back as he intervened.

The double stabbing, on November 11, 2016, led to an evacuation and lectures at the city centre campus to be cancelled. Alsarayefi fled, but was later arrested.

Now, almost two years on, Alsarayefi, now 19, from Fallowfield , is behind bars having being was convicted of two charges of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm following a trial.

He was jailed for six years.
