A husband who attacked his wife with a bow and arrow can be seen brandishing the weapon on CCTV.

Another clip shows police officers arriving at the property in Strensall, near York, as Carr sat in his garden shed as they arrested him.

Carr, who was found guilty of attempted murder after a trial, was jailed for 17 years on Wednesday (2 July) and told he would serve an additional three years on licence following his release.
