Three men have been jailed after a violent knife fight erupted in Nottingham’s Old Market Square
Nottingham: So, there was this crazy scene in Nottingham where three guys got into a wild knife fight. It all kicked off after they left the Fusion nightclub and spilled into Old Market Square. Dureece Smith, Chris Gerald, and Tionne Loftman were part of the chaos, and it was pretty intense.
The police have now shared their mugshots after a trial at Nottingham Crown Court. The footage from the night showed a lot of punches being thrown and knives being waved around. Smith, who’s 27, was seen running away from a gang while Gerald threw a punch that left another guy with some serious injuries.
In court, the judge didn’t hold back. He sentenced Smith to 33 months in prison, saying it was a big disturbance with lots of guys fighting and some carrying knives. Smith tried to claim he was just holding a lighter, but the judge wasn’t buying it, especially with his history of carrying knives.
Gerald, who has a pretty long rap sheet, pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm and got some extra time for having cannabis on him. Loftman, on the other hand, denied being involved but was found guilty and got 27 months. It’s a real mess, and it’s just sad to see things escalate like that.
