Groom Stabbed At Wedding Reception

A groom who was stabbed along with his best man at a wedding party in the garden of an East Sussex home has said knife crime is “not just in London”.

Joe Pattenden Hunt spoke after being attacked on Saturday evening at the reception in Crowborough held a month after his wedding to his lovely bride Laura in June.

The pair were attacked after a group of gatecrashers disrupted the party.

A 23 year old man has been charged with two counts of GBH.

Mr Pattenden Hunt said I’ve lived here in this lovely country location for 27 years and always felt very lucky and fortunate for being here  and then something like this happens.

Police said the incident was rare.

    This is awful but at least they’re ok - unlike that bride who got murdered on her honeymoon.

    “A 23 year old man has been charged with two counts of GBH.”

    Stabbing 2 people, probably at least 3 weeks community service and a holiday in Spain to make up for his tough upbringing.

Got something to say?
