A MAN who ‘almost killed’ a punter with a hunting knife outside a pub last year has again had his sentencing pushed back.

Harry Goodwin, formerly of Birchett Road, Farnborough, stabbed the man in his 50s while he was with a friend at The Market Inn pub on Station Road, Bracknell, in the early hours of Friday, August 22.

The 27-year-old was originally due to be sentenced on November 30, 2021, after admitting to wounding with intent and possession of an offensive weapon.

But a decision was pushed back after a psychiatric report was ordered because Goodwin’s barrister said his client had a “significant psychiatric history” and had previously suffered from psychosis, PTSD, anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses.

Goodwin’s sentence was pushed back to Tuesday, January 18 but Her Honour Judge Nott told the court she was unable to tell the Farnborough man how long he would be spending in prison despite a psychiatric report being completed.

This was because a report into Goodwin’s dangerousness had not been produced.

She said: “I can’t sentence today because I need a dangerousness assessment.

“This is someone who stabbed someone at a pub with a hunting knife, almost killing them, according to the paramedics.

“This is a serious matter and I have a psychiatric report that raises serious concerns about him.

“I don’t think it is right I go ahead without a dangerousness report.”

Judge Nott adjourned the sentencing hearing until Saturday, February 22nd.

Goodwin appeared for the hearing on Tuesday, January 18 via live video link from HMP Bullingdon, where he is in custody.

He was wearing a prison-issue grey tracksuit and spoke only to confirm his name.
