Sentencing in September for two people found guilty of GBH

Two people who attacked and injured a 23-year-old man in Market Harborough have pleaded guilty to the offence.

21-year old Tyler Groom, formerly of Harrowden Lane in Finedon, along with an 18-year-old, who can’t be named for legal reasons, were due to stand trial on Monday but pleaded guilty to inflicting Grievous Bodily Harm.

Leicester Crown Court heard how an argument the previous day had led Groom and a group of youths to confront the victim in the Britannia Walk area of Market Harborough during the evening of Saturday the 12th of June, 2021.

Groom and his assailant stabbed the victim in the leg and chest before running away.

Their victim, who’s not been named, managed to get to some nearby shops where he collapsed and was found by an off-duty police officer.

He was then airlifted to hospital and treated for his injuries.

Following extensive police enquiries, officers were able to arrest the two suspects the following day.

They are  due to be sentenced at Northampton Crown Court on Monday 4th September.
