A man sentenced to nine years in prison earlier this year for seriously assaulting a man at a paintballing centre has now been convicted of hitting a child on the head with a metal pole.
Nathan Joseph repeatedly struck a 16-year-old with the metal pole in Grantham, leaving his victim needing six stitches.
Joseph and another man approached the victim on Cambridge Street to discuss a bicycle which had been loaned to the teenager.
Ian Way, prosecuting, told Lincoln Crown Court: “The complainant was with two friends when he saw Nathan Joseph arrive at the scene holding a metal pole.
The next thing the complainant remembers is being struck with the metal pole repeatedly.
“He was hit on the head. He made his way to a house and the door was shut. Blood was coming from his head.”
The victim was taken by ambulance to Grantham Hospital. He had lacerations to the side and back of his head.
When Joseph was arrested three days later he denied he was involved in any assault and denied carrying the metal pole.
But at court Joseph, 22, of no fixed address, admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon as a result of the incident on June 10, 2014.
He was given a 12 month jail sentence to run concurrently with a nine year jail sentence he is currently serving.
Judge John Pini QC told him “This was a nasty assault using a metal pole causing quite unpleasant injuries.
“But this was two years and two months ago and you are now serving a nine year sentence.”

In the world of art, where creativity knows no bounds, chainsaw wood sculpting stands out as a thrilling blend of danger and beauty. Imagine wielding a roaring chainsaw, not to fell trees, but to carve them into stunning works of art. This is not your average hobby; it’s an adrenaline-fueled artistic adventure that dates back to the 1950s.
Chainsaw sculpting transforms ordinary wood into extraordinary masterpieces, pushing the limits of what’s possible with a tool more commonly associated with lumberjacking. But this is no rough-and-tumble trade; it’s a craft requiring precision, skill, and a steady hand, where the risk only heightens the allure.
Local businesses often face a range of challenges, yet some family-owned firms in LIncolnshire have not only survived, but thrived for over a century.
These include the Lincoln-based Witham Group, a major lubricant manufacturer and paint supplier in the UK, and White & Sentance, a notable piano business in Sleaford. We spoke to both firms about the secret to longevity.
