A 22-year-old man from Plymouth has been jailed for 11 years for assaults on two women and two children.
Brandon Wyatt appeared at Plymouth Crown Court for sentencing today (15th April), after previously pleading guilty to grievous bodily harm with intent, grievous bodily harm, and two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
He was given an 11 year prison sentence, with an additional three years to be served on license as well as 20-year restraining orders to protect the victims.
The sentencing follows two attacks carried out by Wyatt on the afternoon of 10th January 2025.
Wyatt attacked the first victim at a property in the North Prospect area of Plymouth, grabbing her hair and beating her with his fists and a wrench, causing lacerations to her head and hands.
He later travelled to Plympton by taxi, where he forced entry into the home of the first victim’s sister.
Wyatt entered by smashing a rear door with a plant pot before attacking a woman and kicking two children in the face.
One child sustained facial fractures, while the other child and the woman experienced swelling and bruising.
Wyatt was tracked down with the assistance of a Police helicopter and arrested on Derriford Road.
Officer in the case, Detective Constable Shaun McKenzie-Lenden said: “We welcome the sentence given to Brandon Wyatt at Plymouth Crown Court today for two separate incidents of extreme violence over the course of one day.
“Wyatt attacked two women – one of whom with a weapon – and two children. One of his victims suffered significant head injuries which may have on another day proved fatal.
“This was a shocking and ferocious episode of violence. I would like to praise the bravery of the victims for supporting the police investigation.
“I hope they are now able to put this behind them and feel some closure.”
