One wound narrowly missed her heart. She fought for her life in hospital for several days and was told she was lucky to survive. Jackson fled through a bathroom window, ran through gardens, and was stopped by workers at Cambridge Airport runway before arrest.

Patryk Malinowski

Arson *

Sentence

one year in prison

Patryk Malinowski, of Akeman Street, Cambridge, entered a gated courtyard near student accommodation at St Catharine’s College at about 11pm on 25 January 2025. A college porter confronted him and asked him several times to leave but Malinowski swore at him and replied that he “wasn’t going anywhere”. Sitting in his wheelchair, Malinowski took a beer bottle from his coat and smashed it on the ground as the porter walked away, before throwing a full wine bottle towards him. Malinowski then left the enclosed courtyard but remained by the railings. He reached through and set fire to a laundry basket inside the area. The porter was able to extinguish the fire. But Malinowski then wheeled himself into the car park and set fire to a rubbish bin before opening the fuel cap of a car. He attempted to start a fire underneath it and punched the offside wing mirror, causing two dents. He shoved a handful of twigs and grass into the fuel tank and tried to light them, but his lighter failed. Malinowski caused about £800 of damage and was arrested shortly afterwards.

Pleaded guilty to arson and attempted arson. One count of criminal damage and one count of common assault were ordered to lie on file.
