A man who sprayed a noxious substance at people in a park in Sutton Coldfield, has been jailed for four years.

Bradley Baker was arrested on 14 August, 2024, within two hours of four people suffering the effects of the spray in Sutton Park.

Two were treated by ambulance crews at the scene and two others required further checks at hospital - thankfully none suffered any lasting physical injuries.

Baker was charged with four counts of administering a noxious substance and one of outraging public decency.

The 32-year-old was found guilty of the charges and last Monday (16 March) was jailed for four years at Birmingham Crown Court.
