Troublemaker with a 'bad record for violence' slashed at man with a sword

HE HAS BEEN JAILED FOR THE ATTACK WHICH LEFT THE VICTIM NEEDING STITCHES AND 'COULD SO EASILY HAVE CAUSED A FATALITY'

- By MARK NAYLOR

A HEAVILY-drunk man was viciously attacked with a “highly dangerous” Samurai sword after suddenly being confronted by an angry but grinning troublemaker when he returned to a party after going out to buy yet more alcohol.

Kai Miller opened the door of the house before the victim even had time to knock and he quickly brought the fearsome 60cm-bladed sword down on the man’s head, leaving him covered in blood.

He callously told the victim “You best f*** off now. Ha! You are bleeding.” The injured man needed 10 stitches for a serious wound on his head, Hull Crown Court heard. Miller, 21, who was in custody on remand, admitted wounding the man with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and having a blade in Pocklington on January 27. He pleaded guilty on the day of a scheduled trial.

Michael Masson, prosecuting, said that the man was with a friend in Pocklington when he received a message on Snapchat to go to the house of a friend for a few drinks. She was a former friend of Miller.
