A Colne man has been jailed for viciously attacking two women at a house party.
Dilnawaz Hussain from Duke Street (pictured) struck one of the females with a monkey wrench, before punching and kicking the other the floor. When she was down, he picked up a sound bar and used that as a weapon to hit her.
Wearing a balaclava, Hussain had forced his way through a gate into the rear yard of the house in Colne which was a short distance from his own home.
The 28-year-old man launched the unprovoked attack at around 10.30pm on August 11, 2023.
There had been a matter involving him and the householder previously which had resulted in Hussain being arrested.
The woman who Hussain hit with the monkey wrench, suffered serious injuries to her face and head. His other victim sustained injuries to her forehead, face, and arms.
Hussain pleaded guilty to section 18 wounding with intent, attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm with intent, and intimidating a witness.
At Preston Crown Court, Hussain was jailed for 11 years and 10 months. The judge deemed Hussain as a dangerous offender and imposed a five-year extended licence period.
Detective constable Natalie Swindells said: “This was a violent assault in which Hussain was armed with a weapon. It was unprovoked and two innocent women suffered injuries.
“We will not tolerate violence and will thoroughly investigate assaults so that violent offenders face justice.”
