Police say an altercation between the two groups ensued, resulting in Hudson stabbing one of the men in the shoulder and the head.
During the fight, Tevera ran up to the group and sprayed two of the men with ammonia from a Lucozade bottle, before all three men ran off. A third person who gave chase was also sprayed with the noxious substance.
As a result of the attack, one of the victims suffered stab wounds and permanent damage to his eyesight whilst another man suffered permanent damage to one eye. Police confirmed at the time that four people were taken to hospital.
Hudson was charged with and pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm (GBH) and possession of a bladed article. Tevera was charged with and pleaded guilty to two counts of GBH and one count of possession of an offensive weapon and Moss was charged with and pleaded guilty to public order.
