Man convicted after stabbing man in back over 'jealous feud' in Grimsby
Callum Strachan was found guilty of a number of offences
A man has been convicted following an attack in Grimsby where a man was stabbed and left for dead.
Callum Strachan, 23, from Barnsley, has been found guilty of grievous bodily harm, possession of a bladed article in a public place, and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.
The assault, which happened on 15th June 2024 in an alleyway near Heneage Road, left the victim with a punctured lung after he was stabbed in the back.
The court heard how Strachan chased the victim with a baseball bat and a knife, after an argument over the phone around 30 minutes prior.
The victim told officers he only knew Strachan through his ex-partner and had never met him before.
He hit the victim with the bat multiple times and stabbed him four times.
Strachan was arrested three days after the stabbing.
"This was a completely unnecessary and brutal attack on a defenceless man leaving him for dead in the street all over a jealous feud," Police Constable Dan Greaves said.
Officers say Strachan was linked to another attack in September 2024 in South Yorkshire, where a man was fatally stabbed.
He was also charged with murder for the incident in South Yorkshire.
He is set to be sentenced on 20th February 2026.
