A man has been jailed for 36 years for the attempted murder of a young child.
Zach Hughes, 27, attacked the child - whose name and age are being protected by the courts - on July 12 last year. Hughes met up with the child and a woman before they travelled together to Brentwood, Essex.
As the car was being parked, Hughes reached inside the vehicle and attacked the woman and child. They were treated at the scene by paramedics and taken to hospital.
