The teen was rushed to hospital but doctors were unable to reattach his hand.

Vicious Ambe was yesterday jailed for 15 years behind bars for the horrific attack – with Judge Michael Kay saying it was a “story of our times”.

Judge Kay told the court: “It is not society that is at fault. It is your parents and family – the way you have been brought up and accustomed to as a young man, which is chaos and violence.

“You have been involved in a world of violence. Your violence is escalating.

“You post a high risk of harm to others and the risk of further offences is imminent. It is because you know of no other world.

“You are a very angry young man and when you are angry you turn to violence. You are a story of our times.”
