A knife carrier who stabbed a man through a car window in the chest in Arnold has been jailed.
The victim attended the Queen’s Medical Centre with a deep wound to his chest around 1.30am on March 8 2025.
He chose not to engage with police but doctors confirmed the injury had been caused by a knife and detectives began an investigation.
CCTV inquiries revealed the victim’s car had arrived in Front Street, Arnold, around 12.40am and he and another man attended a bar for a short period of time before leaving as part of a larger group.
A man later identified as Connor Gladwin left the bar a short time later and footage showed him spot the victim’s car and walk towards it.
Shortly after 1am Gladwin was seen speaking to the victim before thrusting his arm through the car window twice.
After an altercation with a number of other people Gladwin folded an object in his hands and walked away.
Gladwin, aged 23, was identified as the offender from the CCTV footage and this was confirmed when a forensic examination found his fingerprint on the victim’s car.
Gladwin, of Hungerhill Road, Nottingham, was jailed for a total of three years and nine months at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday (18).
He had earlier pleaded guilty to committing grievous bodily harm without intent and possession of a knife in a public place.
Detective Inspector Julian Eminson-Ferry, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Tackling knife crime is a priority for the force so any report of a stabbing is treated with the utmost seriousness.
“The victim chose not to engage with officers but following this incident we used all the investigative tools at our disposal to identify Connor Gladwin as the offender and arrest him.
“Anyone who chooses to leave their home carrying a knife is putting themselves and others at greater risk.
“Our efforts to seize these weapons and bring knife carriers to justice continues alongside our attempts to educate young people about the risks involved.”
