#James McAvoy’s half-brother gets five years for road-rage attack

Actor James McAvoy’s half-brother has been sentenced to nearly five years in prison for a road-rage attack in which a granddad was stabbed and left for dead, according to reports.

Donald McAvoy, 31, and an unidentified accomplice launched the savage attack on a driver when he started taking photos of the damage done to his van when the pair crashed into it in Glasgow last March, The Scottish Sun said.

Victim Mieczyslaw Bawor, a 57-year-old grandfather of three, was stabbed in the head by the unidentified attacker while McAvoy repeatedly hit him with a metal baton, the outlet said of court testimony Monday.

“I heard, ‘Give me the knife and I’ll finish him off. I’ll kill him,’” Bawor told the Scottish paper. “I’m lucky the knife they had on them wasn’t bigger or I’d have been dead … The blood was everywhere,” he said.

The attackers slashed the tires on Bawor’s van and fled, leaving him with head, face and stomach wounds that medics said were potentially life-threatening, The Sun said.

McAvoy — who has 43 previous convictions — was IDed thanks to the initial photos his victim took. His accomplice is still unknown, police said.

The “X-Men” star’s half-brother pleaded guilty to assault to severe injury and was sentenced to four years and 10 months in prison during Monday’s hearing at the High Court in Glasgow.

“He has come here to accept his part in a nasty assault, which was totally unnecessary,” his attorney, Donald Findlay, said, insisting the repeat offender planned to finally change his ways.

Judge Valerie Stacey ripped his “formidable” rap sheet as she also noted, “This man was badly injured, but it could have been much worse.”

McAvoy and his 41-year-old actor brother share the same dad, also James, but have never met each other, The Sun said.
