Brutal Attack on Commercial Road: Man Sentenced to 7½ Years
James Sneddon, 52, launched a vicious assault on a 59-year-old man at a Commercial Road property on May 13. The attack unfolded just before 1.40pm, prompting emergency services to rush to the scene.
Victim Suffers Serious Facial Injuries
Sneddon repeatedly kicked the victim in the head, leaving him with a large gash above his left eye and other serious facial wounds. The injured man was rushed to Queen’s Medical Centre for urgent treatment.
Judge Sends Sneddon Behind Bars
With no fixed address, Sneddon was slapped with a hefty 7½-year prison sentence at Lincoln Crown Court. Detective Sergeant Remy Simon condemned the attack, saying:
“The sentence reflects the extreme level of violence used during the incident. This was an attack on an individual that was unable to fend for themselves and has had long-lasting consequences. I only hope this sentence serves as a warning to others that this type of violence will not be tolerated in our county.”
