David Noutch

A man who carried out a violent and racially aggravated attack with a gardening tool outside Bradford College has been jailed for three years and one month.

David Noutch, 32, of no fixed abode, injured two people during the racist attack on Great Horton Road on 9 October 2025.

College security staff stepped in and detained him before police arrived — an intervention investigators said prevented further harm.

Police received reports of the attack at around 9.21am, as students, staff and members of the public were using the busy road.

Both victims needed medical treatment, although neither suffered life-threatening injuries.

Noutch admitted common assault, racially aggravated common assault, two counts of racially aggravated fear of violence and threatening a person with a blade in a public place.

He was sentenced at Bradford Crown Court on Wednesday, 14 October 2026.
