A man violently stabbed a Good Samaritan with a shard of glass multiple times and left him with life-threatening injuries following a row involving his ex-partner.
Stephen Bloomfield, 35, became enraged after the victim offered his ex-partner, Samantha Daley, 29, a place to stay on March 29, 2020. It was soon after that "all hell broke loose", and Bloomfield began violently attacking the man, severing an artery in his wrist, resulting in blood spraying all over the home. Bloomfield's ex, Daley, was also briefly involved at the very start of the attack, hitting the man over the head.
On Monday, Bloomfield and Daley, both of Ulverston Gardens, Gateshead, appeared at Durham Crown Court to be sentenced for their involvement in the incident. Bloomfield, who appeared via link from HMP Durham, was sentenced for wounding with intent and assault of an emergency worker. Daley was sentenced for unlawful wounding. Both defendants denied the charges but were found guilty following a joint trial.
