Doncaster man jailed after live-streaming stabbing on Facebook
Liam Robinson was arrested last December
A man from Doncaster who live-streamed himself stabbing another man in a Facebook video has been jailed for two years.
Liam Robinson, who is 31, attacked the victim while he was working at his house in Moorends in December 2023.
Police were tipped off by someone who saw Robinson streaming a video of a 'brutal' assault on social media, and arrested him 14 minutes later.
He was then taken to hospital, where he spat at a custody officer.
Robinson pleaded guilty to wounding or inflicting grievous bodily harm without intent and assault by beating of an emergency worker.
He was jailed for two years at Sheffield Crown Court on Wednesday (10 July) after also being sentenced in relation to driving a motor vehicle dangerously.
Detective Constable Jack Goodall, who was the officer in charge of this case, said: "This was effectively a crime in action with an outstanding victim and a dangerous individual at large.
"Robinson subjected his victim to a brutal assault which he then live-streamed to people through his Facebook account.
"This was a cruel and humiliating act which only served to add to the physical punishment he inflicted on the victim."
The victim was described as "safe and well" by police.
