Three men who launched a gun, machete and knife attack on another man outside a Leeds nightclub have been jailed for a total of 52 years.

The victim, a 42-year-old man, was attacked outside the Nite Trax club, in Chapeltown Road, shortly before 1am on Monday, August 29, last year while the area was busy with people celebrating the Leeds West Indian Carnival weekend.

The victim received a gunshot wound to the chest after a sawn-off shotgun was fired at him from just a few feet away. He also received knife wounds and had to undergo surgery.
