Five men have been jailed after ambushing a family and attacking their car with swords on Christmas Day.
The three relatives left a premises in Royal East Street in Leicester city centre at about 11pm on Monday, December 25, last year.
A convoy of three cars pulled up, blocking their escape and a number of men armed with swords and machetes jumped out of the three vehicles and pounded their car with their weapons.
They went on to brandish the weapons at other members of the public, injuring two people, before jumping back into their cars and fleeing the scene.
The investigation eventually led to five arrests in London and Birmingham. The five admitted various charges and were jailed at Leicester Crown Court last Friday and received sentences ranging from 19 months to three years.
