'Dangerous offender' jailed for 5 years after knife attack

A RAGING knifeman who told his neighbour 'it will all end at 2am' before repeatedly stabbing him has been jailed for more than five years.

- 

Lee Phillips went into Adrian Millwood's room at their shared property in Yardley in the early hours of October 12 last year, a court was told.

The 38-year-old was told to go away but returned at 5.55am.

He dragged Mr Millwood out of bed and savagely attacked him, stabbing him in the head, chest and multiple times in the arms.

Miraculously, the victim survived and ran into the street, wounded, blooded and only wearing his underwear as he flagged down traffic for help.

Phillips was arrested within an hour. He told police Mr Millwood 'deserved' it as he branded him a 'crackhead' and claimed he had 'bullied' him for money for drugs.
