Man Jailed For Machete Attack After Found In Market Harborough

A man who fled to Market Harborough after attacking two men with a machete in Leicester has been jailed for eight years.

Kameron Grant-Smith, 29, was arrested the day after the attacks on August 19th last year, when Police found him at a house on Welland Park Road.

One of the victims was stabbed multiple times as he lay on top of his child in a bid to protect her from being hurt and is still receiving medical treatment for the injuries he sustained.

The other was slashed on the arm and hand while carrying his son.

Grant-Smith, of no fixed address, was sentenced at Leicester Crown Court, after pleading guilty to two counts of grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent and one count of possession of a bladed article in a public place, following the incident in Bay Street.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Katherine Dabrowska, said: “This horrific incident is a clear example of the devastation carrying a knife and deciding to use it can have on all of those involved.

“Grant-Smith’s actions that day left two men injured but also two children traumatised by what they had witnessed.

“I am pleased that justice have now been done and he will spend many years behind bars.”
