Hartcliffe teenager repeatedly stabbed man after being attacked in street

A Hartcliffe teenager stabbed a man repeatedly after being attacked in a street fracas, a court heard.

Bristol Crown Court heard Sheldon Meaker and Rhys Hurst were involved in an altercation in Queen's Road, Withywood. The court heard Mr Hurst punched Meaker, threw him against a shop window, stamped on his face and straddled him before Meaker grabbed a knife at the scene and stabbed him eight times.

Meaker, 19, of Englishcombe Road, was to face trial in March but pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding on December 14, 2019. He appeared for sentence today. (April 21, 2022)
