Nottingham Punching Incident and Mental Health | Nottingham News

A Nottingham man, Thomas Blade, brutally assaulted his father-in-law with at least ten hard punches—breaking his nose and swelling his eye—before moving on to his chest. Despite admitting he wasn’t proud or ashamed, Blade now faces an 18-month suspended sentence and a five-year restraining order after being diagnosed with schizophrenia and PTSD. The judge stressed the importance of medication and warned that without it, future violence could be fatal. The victim is left grappling with why this happened, while authorities hope Blade’s treatment can prevent tragedy from repeating.
