A burglar has been jailed after stabbing a pensioner multiple times before being caught by police in the man’s home covered in his blood.
Andrew Bowering, 26, broke into the terrace house in Croft Street, Willenhall, in the early hours of 27 December last year.
He carried a TV into the garden and returned to the home where he began to rummage through the drawer.
The 82-year-old was woken up and confronted Bowering, who stabbed him three times in the legs and once in the head.
Neighbours alerted police who heard shouts and Bowering saying: “Where are your car keys. Do you want me to stab you?”
Officers arrived within minutes and found the 26-year-old stripped from the waist down and wearing a bloodied T-shirt.
Bowering undressed and tried to claim he was the victim’s grandson, the police said.
Police said Bowering - who was on a prison release licence having been jailed for a shop raid − later admitted wounding and aggravated burglary.
He was jailed for nine years at Wolverhampton Crown Court on 27 May. AOL.
