A THUG who assaulted a man he recruited to sell drugs has been jailed for five-and-a-half years.
Mohammad Mahaboob, 20, recruited the victim in September, promising to pay him £100 to £120 a day in return for selling drugs in Essex.
The victim, who took on the work to fund his own drugs habit, was not paid so took some of the drugs without telling Mahaboob.
After discovering his losses, Mahaboob ordered him to a flat in Romford where he punched and kicked him in the face for an hour.
On a second visit to the flat, the victim had a razor blade held against his throat and was made to lie on the floor, where he was then stamped on, punched and kicked.
