A 28-year-old man has been jailed for 15 years after stabbing two people in a violent attack in Cootham earlier this year.
Thomas Hoe, of Pulborough Road, was convicted of two counts of grievous bodily harm with intent after attacking a woman known to him on 16 January.
A man who tried to intervene was also stabbed multiple times.
Both victims suffered serious injuries and required hospital treatment. Hoe was arrested at the scene after calling 999 and admitting people had been stabbed.
He was found guilty following a trial at Lewes Crown Court in July and sentenced on 25 September.
Police said the case shows their commitment to tackling knife crime and protecting communities.
