Four people assaulted a driver while he was delivering sofas after threatening him with weapons including a zombie knife and a hammer. Among the injuries he suffered during the terrifying attack was a punctured hand.
The victim was approached by Sarah Evans, 46, in Rhydyfelin, Pontypridd, on May 10 last year. She asked him if he needed directions. A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court heard Evans then opened the passenger door, climbed into the van, and tried to take a satchel.
The driver's door was opened and three men – Dorian Brown, 36, Jason Hall, 50, and Matthew Maher, 46 – demanded money from the driver. They were armed with a zombie knife, a hammer, and a screwdriver and took items from the van.
