A 'grinning' man who stabbed a neighbour and shot an officer with a crossbow after attempting to 'hunt down' police has been jailed.

On Wednesday, Aylesbury Crown Court heard Jason King had stabbed neighbour Alistair Mahwuto with a 'small knife' during an altercation which had arisen as a result of a 'long-standing' dispute.

Police were called to High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, where King shot repeatedly at officers with a crossbow out of his upstairs window before chasing them with the weapon and shooting an officer, the court was told.

The 55-year-old was later shot once by police in the stomach after refusing to put down the weapon when confronted by officers, the court heard.

On Wednesday, King was jailed for nine years with a further three years on extended licence having previously pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding, having an article with a blade or point, having an offensive weapon, wounding with intent and affray regarding the incident on May 10 last year.
