Horrific CCTV shows drunk thug stab victim in frenzied Nottinghamshire robbery

Kaison Midgley, 22, asked the man for directions to a local supermarket before telling him: “Give me your wallet or I'll kill you.

“Do you want to be killed tonight?”

Security camera footage shows Midgley stab the man in the shoulder during the attack in Radford at 2.30am on December 14 last year.

Minutes earlier Midgley stabbed another man five times in another horrific attack.

The victim was rushed to Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham but incredibly he survived.

Midgley fled the scene but was arrested three days later following a string of other terrifying robberies.

On Wednesday he was jailed for 12 years following a trial at Nottingham Crown Court.

He was found guilty of one charge of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, five charges of robbery, two charges of theft from a house, and four charges of possession of bladed article.

Detective Constable Parminder Ahluwalia, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "This was a lengthy and complex investigation and there has been a lot of great work by officers to ensure justice has been done and put Midgley behind bars for a number of incidents at the end of last year.

“Officers have shown a real tenacity and enthusiasm and it was a real good team effort, so I’d like to praise their efforts.

"Midgley is a danger to the community and we are happy with the sentence given considering all the offences including stabbing a man five times which left him hospitalised.

“The sentence given reflects the callous actions and we hope the victims can now begin to leave this awful episode in their lives behind them knowing this man is locked up in prison for the foreseeable future.

"I'd like to praise all the victims for coming forward and reporting the incidents to the police.

“Without then and their bravery we wouldn't have got such a lengthy jail term.”

Jurors heard Midgley, of no fixed address, stabbed a man five times in an unprovoked attack after drinking with people in a flat on Hartley Road in Radford.

The court heard that weeks earlier, on October 4, Midgley stole money from a woman.

On October 10 he also robbed a man of his mobile phone and cash from a man as well as stealing a mobile phone from a house in Wollaton on October 23.

On November 26 he threatened another man with a bread knife before robbing his mobile phone and a charger after telling him: “Don’t make me stab you bro.”

In December Midgley also robbed a shopper of cans of lager and cigarettes as well as an iPhone 8, Armani watch and jewellery from another man’s flat.

In a chilling attack on December 17, Midgley told a man: “Don’t move, I will kill you” before stealing his jewellery and valuables.

Officers arrested Midgley the next day at Browns Croft in Old Basford and found him to be in possession of the victim's jewellery and the knife.
