Three men have received significant prison sentences for a violent assault on a teenage boy in Haywards Heath, West Sussex, which occurred in July of last year. Jack Ancell, 24, deliberately used his Vauxhall Corsa as a weapon, running the victim down and forcing him through a garden fence.
Following the car incident, the injured boy was then stabbed by Charlie Clark, 24. Both Ancell and Aiden Barber, 22, continued the assault as the victim lay incapacitated on the ground. The perpetrators fled the scene when challenged by members of the public.
Sussex Police successfully identified and arrested the trio. At Lewes Crown Court, Ancell was sentenced to seven years imprisonment with an extended three-year license period due to his dangerousness. Clark was also jailed for seven years, and Barber received a sentence of six years and three months. All three had pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm and possessing a bladed article in public.
