Cameron Boxall, formerly of Carden Hill in Brighton, asked the woman for directions before forcing her into a stolen black Mini in Selbourne Road in the early hours of 5 August 2024 .Boxall, 21, pleaded guilty to the offence at a hearing at Hove Crown Court on 31 January.He also admitted theft of a motor vehicle, theft from a motor vehicle, making off without payment and possession of cannabis. He was remanded into custody and will be sentenced on 3 March.
A spokesperson for Sussex Police said the victim, a 20-year-old woman, was walking home when she noticed a black Mini sitting at the junction of Church Road and Palmeira Avenue.Boxall later approached her in Selbourne Road, where he opened the passenger door of the car and asked her for directions.
He then exited the car and tried to force the woman into the passenger seat.
The victim fought back and, after a short distance, Boxall pushed her out of the car and made off from the scene, the force said.The terrified woman told the man to hide in her bedroom wardrobe as Hinsley kicked and smashed his way through the front door, the court heard.
Hinsley pursued the pair upstairs and pulled a knife out of his pocket which he then used to repeatedly stab the man.He also swung the blade at his former partner, and she was convinced he would have stabbed her in the lung if her friend had not pushed her out of the way, Mr Faulks said.
The male victim suffered wounds to his face and shoulder, including an injury close to his eye, before Hinsley, who started filming the victim on his phone, fled the property, the court heard.As he left he smashed a TV in the woman's bedroom, Mr Faulks said.
