Man guilty of terrifying Gosport knife attack on bus and cars
A man has pleaded guilty to damaging cars and a bus with a knife following a terrifying attack.
Charles Williams, 27, of Elmhurst Road in Gosport, has admitted affray, possession of a blade in public and 12 counts of criminal damage.
It followed an incident in Gosport on January 24 where a man was seen targeting cars and a bus, with a video of the incident being widely shared across social media.
During an appearance at Portsmouth Crown Court, Williams admitted the charges and will be sentenced on Thursday. He was remanded in custody.
A previous statement from Hampshire Police said: “We received a number of calls from members of the public alleging that a man had used a knife to damage car tyres in the Queens Road, Stoke Road and Elmhurst Road areas, and that the man had also made efforts to damage passing cars and buses in Stoke Road.
“Officers attended and arrested a man in Stoke Road. He was initially conveyed to hospital for treatment to a hand injury, before being taken into police custody.”
