A VIOLENT drug dealer who stabbed a man with a Rambo-style hunting knife has been jailed for more than 15-years.
Harry Lomax, 22, carried out the attack on Ramshill Road in Scarborough in February.
His 29-year-old victim suffered five stab wounds to his body which required emergency treatment at Hull Royal Infirmary.
Known as a ‘county lines’ offender, a police investigation revealed Lomax was regularly travelling from his Liverpool hometown to deal crack cocaine and heroin in North Yorkshire.
He was charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, possessing an offensive weapon, possessing class A drugs - crack cocaine and heroin – with intent to supply, and possession of cannabis.
He pleaded guilty at Leeds Crown Court on Monday and was jailed for 15-and-a-half years.
DC James Temple, of the Scarborough and Ryedale Serious Crime Team, said he welcomed the sentence.
