A masked teenager armed with a machete left a university student with tendon damage to his hand following a terrifying daytime robbery.
Ciucur Munteanu, 19, first approached the man, demanding his phone from him. As he handed it over, the student noticed Munteanu holding the 40-cm blade.
He then began tapping the machete against the man’s leg in order to get him to unlock the phone, before patting him down and taking his keys. Munteanu then tried to grab the man’s rucksack, but he resisted, fighting back.

During the struggle he was cut to the back of the hand with the blade, resulting in tendon and nerve damage. After swiping the rucksack, Munteanu chased the terrified student away.
Pleading guilty to robbery, possession of a knife and fraud by false representation, Munteanu, of Stockport Road, Longsight, was jailed for six years in a hearing last month.
Prosecuting, Thomas Worsfold said that at midday on May 12 this year the student was walking along Hanover Street in Longsight to a house viewing when he heard a male shout from behind him.
He turned and saw Munteanu behind him wearing black tracksuit bottoms, a black and white coat with the hood up, and a black bandana which covered his face.
“The defendant asked for his mobile phone and he handed over his iPhone (valued at around £500) because he noticed that the defendant was holding a machete in his left hand by his side,” Mr Worsfold said.
“He began tapping the machete against his leg and repeatedly asked him to unlock his phone, which he did. He then asked for his wallet and patted him down, finding only his keys in his pocket.”
