A neighbour from hell who stabbed a man in his 60s before shooting a policeman with a crossbow in a terrifying ordeal near a school has pleaded guilty.

Jason King, from School Close in Downley, has been convicted of several charges after the frenzied attack in May this year.

Unarmed officers were ambushed by the 54-year-old as they responded to panicked 999 calls about a stabbing.

Senior investigating officer Det Insp Nick Hind, of the Major Crime Unit, said: “King has now admitted the offences and will be sentenced in due course.”
