James Sheridan lost a leg and fingers over an unpaid six-figure debt but is still facing jail over the driving incident which happened months beforehand.

A man who lost a leg following a horrific gangland machete attack faces jail after a 140mph police chase.

At Airdrie Sheriff Court last week, Sheridan, 29, admitted driving dangerously on the M8 and other roads in Lanarkshire on August 5, 2022, nine months before the attack.Sarah Healing, prosecuting, said police had been looking for his black Audi, which had false plates. Conceding it was a “particularly serious” case of dangerous driving, defence lawyer Peter Malone said: “There is no doubt the custody threshold has been met but I ask the court to call for a social work report that will explain the life-changing events this man has gone through over the last year.

Following last year’s attack, Sheridan’s ex-partner told the Sunday Mail about the “horrendous” ordeal.
