Sutton Metal Bar Attacker Jailed

A 41-year-old has been jailed after he repeatedly hit a man over the head with a metal pole in Sutton earlier this year.

Jamie Frost carried out the brutal and sustained attack, that left his victim in hospital for weeks, at a house in Fackley Road on the evening of March 28^th.

Nottingham Crown Court heard Frost became angry and attacked his victim following a dispute over money.

Frost was jailed on Friday (July 2nd) for three years and four months after pleading guilty to wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

The court heard Frost was demanding cash from his victim and that he attacked him after they began to argue.

The victim told police Frost picked up a metal pole and struck him with full force over the top of his head.

He said he could recall being struck three times before he lost consciousness.

When he woke, he crawled to the front door in a bid to escape but was struck again to his upper back and left arm.

The victim told officers he believed Frost was going to kill him.

When the blows finally stopped, the victim managed to escape the property and call 999 from a telephone box.

Police arrived and arrested Frost. Meanwhile, the victim was rushed to Kings Mill Hospital where he underwent emergency treatment for a bleed on the brain.
