A Southend man has been jailed for more than seven years after stabbing another man near Westcliff railway station.
Oliver Champion, 20, of Palmerston Road, pleaded guilty at Basildon Crown Court to inflicting grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent.
He stabbed the victim in Station Road, at its junction with Palmerston Road, on November 8.
He also pleaded guilty to possessing a knife in a public place.
After he admitted those offences, prosecutors decided to drop an attempted murder charge over the incident.
Essex Police released Champion's mugshot to the Echo, in which he poses in a yellow Homer Simpson top.
Oscar Champion, 18, of Shetland Crescent, Rochford, pleaded guilty to assaulting the same man on the same date, causing him actual bodily harm (ABH).
He too had originally been charged with attempted murder.
Judge Samantha Cohen sentenced Oliver Champion to seven-and-a-half years in prison.
Oscar Champion was sentenced to a community order. He must complete 20 days of rehabilitation activities and 50 hours of unpaid work.
