A man has been jailed following violence on a night out in Cambridge.

Jessie Slack, 32, got into an argument with two men in Market Passage at about 3.30am on 11 May 2024.

He threw punches at both men, before a member of the public intervened and calmed the situation.

Slack left the area, but returned a short time later when he attacked two other men, and the ferocity of the attack knocked one of the men unconscious.

He was taken to hospital where he was treated for a fractured skull and a traumatic brain injury.

Slack, of no known address, was identified by people at the scene and arrested at a property in Newmarket a few hours later. 

He admitted assault causing grievous bodily harm without intent and three counts of assault by beating.

On Thursday 19 September 2024, at Peterborough Crown Court, he was jailed for two years.
