A Nottingham man has been jailed for stabbing another man through a car window in Arnold.

Connor Galdwin followed the victim after he left a bar around 1:00am March 8th 2025.

CCTV showed the 23-year-old, of Hungerhill Road, spot the victims car and walk towards it.

He was seen speaking to the victim and then thrusting his arm through the car window twice.

The victim suffered a deep wound to his chest and was sent to Queen's Medical Centre.

Forensics proved that it was Connor who stabbed the victim, when an examination found his fingerprint on the victim's car.

He was jailed for a total of three years and nine months at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday (18th August).

Connor had earlier pleaded guilty to committing grievous bodily harm without intent and possession of a knife in a public place.

Detective Inspector Julian Eminson-Ferry, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“Tackling knife crime is a priority for the force so any report of a stabbing is treated with the utmost seriousness.

“The victim chose not to engage with officers but following this incident we used all the investigative tools at our disposal to identify Connor Gladwin as the offender and arrest him.

“Anyone who chooses to leave their home carrying a knife is putting themselves and others at greater risk.

“Our efforts to seize these weapons and bring knife carriers to justice continues alongside our attempts to educate young people about the risks involved.”
