Pensioner Colin Proud was subjected to years of noise from his neighbour's flat, a court heard. And in August last year he confronted his neighbour with a large kitchen knife and stabbed him in the forehead and back.
Proud, 70, of Berchel House in Catherine Mead Street, pleaded guilty to wounding with intent and possessing an offensive weapon. He appeared from HMP Bristol via video link for sentence at Bristol Crown Court today.(March 10, 2023)
The recorder Mr Oba Nsugbe jailed him for three years. He told Proud: "You are aged 70, you had a long working career, good relationship, which makes the offences all the more bizarre. It could have resulted in far more serious injuries to the victim."
