Jail For Littleport Man Who Caged Victim

A man who attacked another man and locked him in a cage has been jailed.

Tony Adams, 31, travelled to where the victim was staying in Cottenham in the early hours of 16 July this year and demanded money.

When this wasn’t handed over, Adams repeatedly punched the man to the head and threatened him with a knife.

He then made the victim get in a dog cage and poured washing up liquid over him, before threatening him again with a knife.

The man managed to get out and call police and Adams was arrested later that day.

Adams, of New Road, Littleport, pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm and was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison at Cambridge Crown Court.

DC Sarah Knights said: “Adams’s violent and disgraceful assault not only left the victim with injuries but was also very traumatic.

“I am glad he is now off our streets and behind bars where hopefully he can now reflect and learn.”
