James Ellis (23) has been sentenced at Lincoln Crown Court to 12 years and four months in prison after being found guilty of unlawfully and maliciously causing grievous bodily harm.

A hunt ensued for Ellis who was later found in Manchester.
Ellis was sentenced on June 26 where an indefinite restraining order was issued, prohibiting Ellis from contacting the victim, or going into any premises he knows him to be in.
