Man Sentenced for Dog and Knife Attacks | Sheffield News
Description
A man living in a tent, Matthew Field, was sentenced to over two years in prison after brutally attacking three men over three days—using a dog and knife, leaving one with a hand injury and another bitten, while hurling racial abuse and threats. With prior assault convictions and a history of instability, Field admitted guilt to multiple charges including affray and dangerous dog control. Victims suffered lasting trauma, including suicidal thoughts and nightmares. Though Field claimed he turned to drink and felt shame watching his own actions, the judge’s sentence—2 years, 17 weeks, and 97 days—reflects the gravity of harm done and his pattern of violence, despite having children as a potential motivator for change.
