North Yorkshire police say Liam James Watson of Scarborough stabbed his former partner during a knife attack last March.
The 32-year-old was later charged with severe physical harm (GBH), possession of an offensive weapon, criminal damage and racially aggravated public order crimes.
Watson was found guilty following the trial. He appeared at York Crown Court on Thursday (March 20) and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Police say they received a report from ambulance service that said the woman had been stabbed by Scarborough at 3:38pm on March 27 last year. The victim Watson's ex-partner was bleeding severely, and the severity of her injuries was flew to the hospital by ambulance.
The victim explained that Watson was controversial on the day of the attack and repeatedly called her name.
He then carried out a vicious and violent attack that began by placing the victim in a headlock. Following this, she thought Watson punched her to the left and put her hand down to check. He hadn't punched her, but he stabbed her with a knife.
Members of the nation noticed that Watson disposed of the knife on the roof of Scarborough and reported him to police.
After his arrest, he repeatedly spits out into the holding cage of the police vehicle despite being told to stop.
Once inside custody, he repeatedly used horrific racial abuse against police officers. Both the police vehicle cage and the detained area needed something deep and clear following the disgusting and sleazy behaviour from Watson.
Scarborough Cid detective Stephen Monty said:
“No one should be subject to any form of verbal or physical violence, as in this case, the police are here to listen to you and are committed to providing the support they need to bring justice to you.
“I hope this sentence gives the victim a sense of closure and allows her to continue her life.
“Watson also exposed one of my colleagues to horrific verbal abuse.
“The results also show that they do not accept physical or verbal attacks on officers and staff. Very simply, they are not tolerated and charged when necessary.”
