Man Receives 21-Year Sentence for Attempted Murder of Neighbour

A man, Bryan Robson, has been sentenced to 21 years and nine months in prison for attempting to murder his neighbour in a brutal attack. The incident, which took place on Moorfield Street in Hereford, resulted in the victim sustaining potentially life-threatening injuries.

Robson, 50, pleaded guilty to the charge of attempted murder at Worcester Crown Court. Following a call to the police on October 9, officers found a 42-year-old man at the scene with multiple stab wounds to his abdomen and arms. A three-inch bladed knife was recovered from the location, and the victim was rushed to the hospital via air ambulance in a serious condition.

After spending four weeks in hospital and undergoing surgery, the victim gradually began to recover. Meanwhile, Robson was held in custody and subsequently charged with the offences.

Detective Inspector Catherine Taylor remarked, “This was a brutal attack which left a man critically injured. The police officers responded swiftly, apprehending Robson and providing immediate first aid to the victim. Our officers worked diligently to ensure Robson was brought to justice. It’s important to note that incidents of violence like this are rare and isolated.”
