One of the victims required 100 stitches to a wound to the back of his head
A man 'slashed' three innocent men with a sharply pointed weapon in an unprovoked attack, a court heard. The three men were enjoying a night out when Kyle Newell, aged 34, confronted them in St James' Street, in Nottingham city centre.
Police said he then slashed the three men with a weapon in a 'frenzied and unprovoked attack' in February this year. , whilst his other two victims were treated for serious lacerations to their faces, leaving them permanently scarred. Newell fled the scene and disposed of his clothing, weapon and phone on February 19, Nottinghamshire Police said. The weapon used was never found.Newell, of Claremont Road, Carrington, admitted to three counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and possessing a bladed article in a public place. Appearing at Nottingham Crown Court, he was jailed on Friday for a total of 15 years.
Detective Constable Richard Doel, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was an appalling and unprovoked display of extreme violence, occurring in the early hours of a Saturday evening, which left three innocent men with serious head and facial injuries. Newell fled the scene and tried unsuccessfully to cover his tracks and evade police.
“I would hope others who choose to carry knives in public, will stop and think before they go out with a weapon. I also hope that this sentence provides some comfort to the victims, who have to live with the emotional and physical scars caused by Newell’s disgraceful cowardly actions.”
