CCTV footage shows man running over his girlfriend’s ex-husband multiple times in Cambridgeshire

CCTV footage has been released showing the moment a man ran over his girlfriend's ex-husband.

Jonathan Leuty, a 34-year old Cambridgeshire resident, has been jailed for four years after admitting to causing grievous bodily harm with intent and dangerous driving.

The incident took place on 30 October 2015 in the market town of Wisbech.

Police received a call at around 11.30pm from Leuty saying that his girlfriend’s former husband was blocking the doorway to his girlfriend’s flat and was refusing to move.

Once police arrived, they found the ex-husband on the road after being run over.

Leuty phoned the police again, admitting to running over the 30-year-old man, saying he “snapped” and was provoked into action.

DC Simon Rust, from the Fenland Serious Crime Team, commented: “This was a horrific incident which could have ended in the victim losing his life. It is clear from Leuty's full admission of the incident that he feels great remorse and regrets his actions, but it just goes to show how disputes can quite easily escalate and get out of hand, and how these actions result in very serious consequences.”
