Bradford Brutality: Man Gets Nearly 11 Years for Vicious Attack
A savage assault rocked Hopbine Avenue, Bradford, on 12 April this year. David Stewart, 33, unleashed a brutal and sustained attack on a male victim, leaving him seriously injured.
Emergency Rush After Horrific Attack
Police and paramedics arrived to find the victim badly hurt and rushed him to hospital for emergency care. Stewart, from West Bowling, and Jason Cowgill, 39, of Bierley, were quickly arrested and charged.
Justice Served at Bradford Crown Court
- Stewart pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm (GBH).
- Cowgill admitted assisting an offender.
- On 16 December, Stewart was jailed for 10 years and 11 months.
- Cowgill received a two-year prison sentence.
Detective Chief Inspector Tony Nicholson said: “These two men have been handed prison sentences for their actions on that day. They were involved in a vicious attack in which Stewart inflicted horrific injuries on the victim which were initially believed to be life threatening. They are, however, life changing.”
“The incident was deeply distressing for the victim and his family, but he has made some recovery from his injuries. We welcome the sentences for Cowgill and Stewart today at court; their behaviour and actions that night were despicable and we are pleased that we have been able to bring them to justice.”
