During a five-day trial it was heard Munorrah stabbed the man following an altercation at an address in Woodfield Road.

The jury found the 40-year-old guilty.

Munorrah, of Woodfield Road, Crawley, was sentenced on Friday, September 20, to three years and 11 months’ imprisonment.

Investigator Zoe Broster said: “Sussex Police takes a zero-tolerance approach to knife crime and this is another offender who is now off the streets.

“This was an altercation which got out of hand and Munorrah is a dangerous individual who caused serious injuries to his victim.

“Our priority is to catch offenders, we will investigate and put them before the courts.”
