• Babah Sesay, 31, of Rodney Road, Southwark, was sentenced at Croydon Crown Court on Friday, August 29, with a related criminal damage charge left to lie on file.
• He had admitted ten offences in March, including five counts of wounding with intent and two counts of aggravated burglary, along with ABH, assault by beating and possession of an offensive weapon.
• The attack happened on January 23 at an Argos distribution warehouse on Marlowe Way in Beddington, south London.
