It was busy at the Green Valley Car Lovers when a dispute broke out between two men in February just before 8pm.
Abdul Hamra, 24, was washing his blue Volkswagon Golf in a bay when he noticed a silver Ford Mondero come up behind him and beep, according to documents tendered to the court
Hamra walked over to the car and yelled ‘What’s your problem?’ Before the victim told him to go away.
Hamra drove out of the bay, but stopped to take a photo of the victim’s number plate.
Blood started to boil, when the victim ran over to Hamra’s window and shouted ‘you’re dead, I’m a bikie and I’ll get you.’
The court heard the men become involved in a short scuffle, when Hamra slashed the victim twice with a knife in the abdomen and left upper arm.
Hamra sped off, while the victim walked back to his own car.
The victim and his girlfriend tried to work out if they should call an ambulance or drive to the hospital, court documents show.
The pair started to drive to Liverpool Hospital but the victim was excruciating pain, so an ambulance was called.
He suffered two 2cm deep wounds and required medical treatment.
Police tracked down Hamra two days later at his home in Green Valley.
He told police when the victim came up to him, he was scared ‘because he was bigger than me and had tattoos everywhere.’
He admitted to stabbing him with a sharp folding knife with a wooden handle that he kept in the centre console of his car.
“I pulled out my knife and stabbed him, my hat was on the ground, so I picked up my hat, put it on my head and left,” Hamra told police.
He said he threw the knife out of his car window on the M5 so police wouldn’t find it.
In Campbelltown Court, Hamra pleaded guilty to one count of reckless wounding.
A sentencing assessment report will be conducted before his next appearance in December.
