The worker was stabbed 12 times in the head and arms
A homeless thug who stabbed a Costa Coffee worker multiple times in the head following a row over his vape has been jailed for six years. Darren Laken, 31, stole a packet of knives from Poundland before stabbing the terrified worker 12 times at the coffee shop in Belper, Derbyshire .
Laken pulled a hotel worker to the floor and began punching him. Another member of staff broke their hand as they tried to intervene. He added: “I wake up in the morning and the first thing I see in the mirror are my scars on my head and arms. I feel anxious around people and I’m always looking over my shoulder.”
Detective Constable Ashley Taylor, of Derbyshire Police, said: “This was a horrific incident and my thoughts remain with the victim, who still lives with the mental and physical scars from this violent attack. I would like to thank him for his bravery throughout the investigation and during the court process.
