A man left three people with catastrophic injuries after stabbing them with a Rambo knife - before sending a chilling Snapchat warning to one of their friends.
Ryan Cullen, 21, had summoned a taxi to an apartment block in Halliwell, Bolton following a 'nasty' exchange with a woman he'd been texting, where he was met by three men.
Bolton Crown Court heard that a short time after a fight broke out, with punches thrown between all four men. Backed into a corner, Cullen then pulled out a Rambo style knife in retaliation, stabbing the three men to the stomach.
