Joshua Gardner: Croydon ‘zombie knife’ attacker jailed three and half years after sentence ruled unduly lenient

Teenager was caught on camera trying to smash car window to attack driver in Croydon

A teenager filmed attacking a car with a large “zombie knife” in a London street has been jailed after judges ruled a suspended sentence was too lenient.

Joshua Gardner, now 18, walked free from court in November after being convicted of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent, affray and possessing an offensive weapon.

An Old Bailey judge sentenced him to two years imprisonment but suspended the term for two years, meaning he would not go to jail unless he committed further offences.
