Nottingham Man Jailed for Brutal City Centre Stabbing

Shaki Robinson has been sentenced to seven years and six months in prison for a violent knife attack in Nottingham city centre. The incident occurred in the early hours of 22 November 2025, when Robinson became aggressive towards a woman. A passerby and his girlfriend intervened, leading to an argument. Robinson then pursued the victim, stabbing him in the back, face, and shoulder. Officers found the 21-year-old victim with severe slash wounds. Investigations confirmed Robinson discarded the Stanley knife, which was later recovered by police. He also resisted arrest, assaulting an officer during his detention, which was aided by members of the public. During a search, officers discovered suspected Class A drugs and a significant amount of cash. Robinson pleaded guilty to wounding with intent, possession of a knife, assault on an emergency worker, and drug offences.
