He submitted that “what was intended, particularly by the thrusts through the broken car window, was to strike the head or upper body of the victim”.īuckland added that the offence was aggravated by the fact it was “committed during the supervision period” for a previous conviction for attempted robbery “involving the use of a knife to threaten a younger person”.

He said Gardner “produced the knife and attacked the outside of the vehicle”, before he eventually managed to smash the passenger window and “lunged into with the knife”. Sir Brian Leveson, Mr Justice Nicol and Sir Brian Keith were shown dashcam footage of the incident, which was widely shared online at the time of the attack.īuckland said Gardner previously had “some animosity” towards the victim, Levar Gilbert, which he said “resulted in a disgraceful incident which caused real fear to people in the vicinity, not least the victim himself”. Gardner appeared at the court of appeal in London on Wednesday after Robert Buckland QC, the solicitor general, referred his sentence as being “unduly lenient”.īuckland said Gardner attacked the vehicle “in a seriously violent and sustained way” using “a very large zombie knife”.
