An Iranian illegal immigrant has been jailed after brutally attacking a fellow asylum hotel resident.

Syed Barzegar, 33, began the furious rampage at a migrant hotel in Oxford after the victim had banged on his room door.

The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is said to have had a long-standing feud with Barzegar.

Barzegar charged the victim in the hotel corridor, stabbing him a total of 15 times.

Footage emerged after the attack showing the victim was seen stumbling in a t-shirt soaked in blood and leaving red footprints on the floor of the hotel.

He required emergency surgery on January 30 following the horrific ordeal.

Barzegar has now been jailed for three years after being convicted of grievous bodily harm and possession of a bladed article.

Barzegar first tried claiming asylum in 2023 after arriving in the UK illegally

Oxford Crown Court heard that the 33-year-old Iranian tried to hide the weapon by passing it off to one of his friends, The Sun revealed last night.

Barzegar first tried claiming asylum in 2023 after arriving in Britain illegally.

However, after the Home Office rejected his initial application, he appealed the decision.

Behroz Danandeh, a co-defendant, was cleared of conspiring to hide the blade used in the vicious attack.

Judge Maria his KC told Barzegar, who had used a Farsi interpreter throughout proceedings, that despite the victim triggering the initial row, the vicious attack could not be justified.

It is unclear whether the Iranian national will face deportation, despite being sentenced.

Lamb said: "Whether the deportation provisions apply is not a matter for me."

It comes after new powers came into force in a bid to remove foreign criminals from British prisons.

Under the new plans introduced by Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, foreign offenders in UK jails can be deported after serving 30 per cent of their sentence.

Mahmood said: "This Government is taking radical action to deport foreign criminals, as part of our plan for change.

"Our message is clear: if you abuse our hospitality and break our laws, we will send you packing."
