A violent offender who stabbed a man after storming into his flat has been jailed.
Scott Tilley pushed the victim onto his bed before stabbing him in the leg with a steak knife during the attack on 5 August 2023.
The victim needed hospital treatment for a wound to his thigh following the incident in Gladstone Street, Mansfield.
Thirty-three-year-old Tilley was quickly identified as a suspect by officers and confirmed as the attacker after analysis of CCTV coverage by detectives.
Tilley, of Gladstone Street, pleaded guilty to committing grievous bodily harm without intent.
He was jailed for 21 months when he appeared at Nottingham Crown Court for sentencing on Friday (5 April).
Investigator Nicola Wiley, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“Thankfully, the victim was not seriously injured during this incident but that is no thanks to Tilley.
“Whenever anyone produces a knife during an altercation there is potential for that incident to escalate and for someone to end up in hospital or worse.
"Knife crime like this will always be investigated thoroughly and every effort will be made to bring offenders to justice.
