A Leeds drug dealer was stabbed repeatedly and a man had acid thrown in his face during a drugs turf war, jurors heard
A court heard the attacks were part of a recent phenomenon known as "county lines" dealing in which drug traffickers try to expand their markets from big cities to smaller towns.
Jurors were told how gang members are prepared to use "extreme violence" to gain a foothold in local markets and chase out established dealers.
