A man has been jailed for over four years after stabbing another man in an unprovoked attack in Louth.

Christopher Lenden, 25, pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm at an address on Park Avenue last August.

Lincoln Crown Court heard how Lenden took a knife and told his victim he was going to stab him.

After doing so, he video called his friend and showed him the man's injuries.

His friend told him to call an ambulance.

When emergency services arrived, Lenden also attacked them.

He's been jailed for four years and eight months for GBH with a smaller sentence running concurrently for assaulting an emergency worker.

He must also pay a victim surcharge of £228.
