Man jailed for 14 years for stabbing in city
Thames Valley PoliceA man has been sentenced to 14 years in prison after he stabbed another man multiple times.
Hassan Hussain, of Nye Bevan Close, Oxford, attacked a 42-year-old man on Manzil Way in the city on 13 March 2024.
The 25-year-old was found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm with intent following a trial at Oxford Crown Court in February.
He had previously pleaded guilty to one count of possessing a knife.
The attack left Hussain's victim with "significant injuries" to his abdomen, forearm and left hand, Thames Valley Police said.
He went into a nearby mosque following the incident, where he received help and immediate first aid, before an ambulance took him to hospital for treatment
Det Ch Insp Krista Thompson, who led the police investigation, said it was an "utterly horrendous attack".
"Hussain committed an act of extreme violence, and it is only right that he now spends time in prison," she said.
"The ripples of serious violence and knife crime are far reaching, it affects the victims, their families, and our communities."
During his trial, Hussain was found not guilty of attempted murder and possession of a firearm.
Two other men - Shahroz Ali Khan and Bilal Khan - were also found not guilty of conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm during the trial.
