A successful investigation in Crawley has resulted in a man being sentenced to 11 years in prison.
41 year old Thomas Mahasoh from Solihull was sentenced on the 9th of January for attacking two people with a large kitchen knife at a birthday party.
An 18-year-old man suffered a stab wound to his stomach and a 20 year old man was stabbed in the leg after a fight broke out at the party being held near the Crawley Lawn Tennis Club on 7 July last year.

Local Sports Review
Crystal Palace missed a penalty and paid the price by losing 2-0 at Spurs on Saturday to go bottom of the premier league on goal difference.
In league one, despite being 2 nil down after 83 minutes, Crawley Town recovered to draw 2 all at Coventry Yesterday afternoon. An own goal from Sadler late in the first half started the rot but goals late on from Proctor and Drury allowed the reds to claim a much needed away point.
In other local matches, Merstham lost 2 nil at home to Folkstone Invicta, Crawley Down Gatwick shared the points with Hythe Town, Three Bridges beat Whitstable Town by one goal to Nil, and Horley Town managed a one all draw at home to Hartley Whitney.
