A 32-year-old man from Doncaster has been sentenced to eight years in prison for a violent, unprovoked attack that left his victim in a critical condition. Andrew McMinn, of York Road, Dunscroft, was convicted at Sheffield Crown Court on Wednesday, November 27, after pleading guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of an offensive weapon.

The Attack

The incident occurred on July 17 on Abbey Road, Dunscroft, when McMinn, armed with a hockey stick, launched a brutal assault on his victim. Riding a bicycle to the scene, McMinn struck the victim seven times across the head, chest, and torso before fleeing.
