A man has been found guilty of unlawful wounding and possession of an offensive weapon following a violent altercation outside a City of London pub. Kyle Quinn, 22, from Cheshunt, was sentenced to a two-year prison sentence, suspended for 24 months, as well as a community order involving 240 hours of unpaid work and a rehabilitation order. Quinn has also been ordered to pay compensation and surcharges.

The incident occurred on the evening of October 22, 2022, when Quinn became involved in a fight outside the Woodin Shades pub on Bishopsgate. During the altercation, Quinn produced a knife and stabbed another man twice in the head, causing serious injuries. The victim was also stabbed in the back, though the knife did not fully penetrate the victim’s coat.

DC Lowe emphasized the importance of the case in deterring knife crime: “If you come to the City with the intent of using a knife to harm others, we will find you and put you before the courts.”

Quinn appeared at Inner London Crown Court on July 8, 2024, where a three-day trial concluded with his conviction for unlawful wounding and possession of an offensive weapon. He was sentenced last week by Mr. Justice Boyle.
