A THUG who repeatedly stabbed a Polish man and assaulted his partner by trying to stuff a banknote into her mouth has been jailed for six years.

Ronald Pattison, 34, attacked Maciej Gawron and assaulted Katarzyna Polusik with the cash in Barlanark in May last year.

The High Court in Edinburgh heard how Pattison went on the rampage after he stole £20 from Ms Polusik.
