A club bouncer said it was a 'miracle' he did not lose his arm following an assault involving a machete by a man whom he had booted out of a nightclub.
Aaron Newton, 39, was evicted from the Dodge nightclub in Accrington on December 18, 2022. As he left the premises, he threatened to return with reinforcements, later coming back with his nephew Cameron Newton who had hidden a machete on his person.
Newton has been jailed for six years for his part in the attack with his nephew Cameron being sentenced to four years at an earlier hearing, reports Lancs Live.

Preston Crown Court heard Newton had been drinking and taking cocaine before the incident. The defendant, of Brook Street, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to affray but denied wounding with intent. However he was found guilty of the second offence following a trial.
In a statement, his victim said he suffered a 'graphic' injury to his arm which left his bones exposed. He said: "It is a miracle my arm wasn't chopped off."
He said he had lost around £10,000 of income as he was unable to perform his day job as a butcher to his usual standard as it requires strength and accuracy. He missed out on work as a doorman over the festive period while recovering from his injury and had to take out loans to cover his living costs.
The victim was a keen bodybuilder and had been looking forward to competing in the sport in 2023. However since the attack he can no longer lift weights as he used to and has lost 20kg of muscle.
He said: "I love the gym and lifting weights. It is my whole life. I have always been into fitness and want to be strong. My doctor told me to forget about

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music After your masterplan succeeds and so many of your dreams come true… then what? That is a question a 26-year-old Prince may well have been asking himself after “Purple Rain” transformed him into a global superstar virtually overnight (or whatever passed for “overnight” in 1984).
