Brutal Hostage Nightmare in Nottingham Ends in Jail
A terrifying five-hour ordeal unfolded at a Nottingham home when Tomas Dunka, 35, trapped a woman and violently stopped her from escaping.
Phone Snatched and Smashed in Attack
When the victim tried to grab her phone to call for help, Dunka snatched it from her, smashed it, then flung it right into her face. She repeatedly tried to flee, but Dunka blocked every exit. At one point, he even wrestled her to the ground and held her down.
