A man who racially abused and stabbed his ex-partner’s boyfriend following an argument has been jailed for almost five years.
Kieran Hutchinson, 31, of Abbatt Close, Ludgershall, appeared at Winchester Crown Court on Friday (17/01) after pleading guilty to grievous bodily harm with intent, having an article with a blade or point in a public place and criminal damage.
On August 25 last year, Hutchinson turned up at his ex-partner’s home in Taylor Crescent, Ludgershall, following a disagreement.
At the house, Hutchinson threw a paving slab through the front door, damaging the wall, before assaulting his ex-partner’s boyfriend – a man in his 40s.
He then ran into the house and gathered multiple knives, which he swung at the victim.
The victim suffered injuries to his arm and his hand which required emergency hospital treatment.
A wanted appeal was subsequently released for Hutchinson, who was arrested a few days later and remanded into custody.
At court on Friday, he was jailed for four-years-and-ten-months, plus an extended licence period of four years.
DS Toni Nugent of South CID said: “Hutchinson went to his ex-partner’s property with the intention of causing serious harm to her partner.
“Following an initial altercation outside the house, he then went inside to find weapons to use against him.
“Hutchinson’s actions were completely unacceptable, and it is fortunate that the victim’s injuries were not significantly worse.
“We take all knife crime incredibly seriously and we will ensure that anybody who perpetrates a crime involving a weapon is arrested and put before the courts.”
