Five men have been locked up after a savage attack rocked a Nuneaton caravan site just after midnight on May 9 last year. The terrifying violence took place at The Griff caravan site, leaving one man stabbed multiple times.
Victim Stabbed Multiple Times During Midnight Raid
In a chilling assault, a mob of men drove to the site and stormed a caravan where a couple were staying. The woman, in her 20s, made a daring escape through a window. But the man was not so lucky—he was chased down and stabbed several times before the gang fled the scene.
