A man has been jailed for seven years after stabbing someone he met on a night out in Hastings - leaving him with life-changing injuries.

33 year old Dean Ellis of Old Church Road, St Leonards, stabbed the victim through the hand and the abdomen after he became jealous of the victim talking to a woman, according to police.

It happened in the early hours of November 4, 2018 when the group he was socialising with returned to an address in Battle Road, St Leonards.

The victim was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton where he underwent major surgery.

Ellis was arrested and later charged with grievous bodily harm with intent.

He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to seven years in jail - when he appeared at Hove Crown Court on Friday.

He will also serve an additional three years on extended licence.
