A 34-year-old man has been jailed after a stabbing in Ipswich.
Gary Daily from Gladstone Road, was jailed for 30 months at Ipswich Crown Court after he pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding and having article with a blade or point in a public place.
It follows an incident on Wednesday 22 September at about 10.45pm on Tavern Street in Ipswich. The victim, a male aged in his 50s, was walking along Tavern Street with a friend when he has been approached by two males. An argument ensued between the victim and Daily with the victim stabbed once to the lower back leaving a puncture wound.
Daily was arrested the following day after police enquiries and taken to Martlesham Police Investigation Centre for questioning and subsequently charged.
Pc Jack Evans of Ipswich CID said: “This was a nasty incident where Daily used a broken bottle to inflict the wounds on his victim. Fortunately, the victim was not more seriously injured. This sentence demonstrates that carrying any type of pointed weapon, not just a knife, can have serious implications if you are caught and charged.”
