A "dangerous" criminal who hit a man with a metal baton is wanted by police.
William Wenman was found guilty of burglary with intent to cause grievous bodily harm at a block of flats in Darthill Road, March, on November 23, 2021.
The 46-year-old broke into the flat, pulled out an extendable metal baton from his trouser waistband and struck the victim twice to the jaw.
The victim was treated in hospital for serious injuries while Wenman was arrested in Westgate, Peterborough, on December 21, 2021.
Wenman is wanted after he failed to attend a hearing at Huntingdon Law Courts on October 3.
He has links to Peterborough, Fenland and Sussex.
DC Matt Reed, who investigated, said: "Wenman is a dangerous criminal who was not afraid to use extreme violence.
"The victim was left with deeply unpleasant and serious injuries.
"While it is pleasing to see the outcome of the court case and a significant sentence handed down, justice will not have been done until Wenman has been arrested and sent to prison.
"I would urge anyone who knows of his whereabouts to contact police as soon as possible."
Anyone who believes they have seen him or know of his whereabouts is urged not to approach him but to call police on 101, quoting reference 35/NT/18955/21, or report online.
Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, by calling 0800 555111 or report online.
