Owais Ali appeared at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court on Friday 27 August, where he pleaded guilty to three charges of wounding and possessing an offensive weapon.
Both a 27-year-old man and a 53-year-old woman were attacked with a machete after Ali gained entry to their Mellor Street house on 22 May 2021.
Enquiries established that three men arrived in a blue Renault Captur, before forcing entry to a property and attacking the man, who was taken to hospital with serious injuries to his hands, arms and back, requiring surgery.
The woman was taken to hospital with a minor injury to her hand.
