"Violent" offender jailed after stabbing man in back with scissors in Nottingham
A Nottingham man has been jailed after stabbing another man in the back with a pair of scissors in Nottingham.
A Nottingham man, who police have called "violent and volatile", has been jailed after stabbing another man in the back with a pair of scissors.
Kain Masey, 33, of Eastglade Road, attacked his victim at a house in St Ann's on 31 October 2025.
Witnesses say he had been drinking before becoming enraged by a comment made about a family member.
He then bit the hand of a female police officer upon his arrest and racially abused another officer whilst at hospital for his own injuries.
He admitted the offences against the officers but initially denied stabbing anyone.
Detective Constable Mitchell Thomas, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Masey is a violent and volatile offender who launched a vicious and unprovoked attack on a wholly innocent man.
“Fortunately, the victim of this assault was able to defend himself and avoid more serious injuries.
“That does not, however, detract from the seriousness of this offence, which has unsurprisingly had a very profound impact on the victim.
“I am pleased that Masey has now received this very significant jail sentence, which should also serve as a warning to others about the consequences of this kind of violence.”
Masey pleaded guilty to wounding with intent, assaulting an emergency worker, and racially aggravated intentional harassment.
He has been jailed for 10 years.
