Offence Note/s : Wounding requires that the victim's skin is broken, either on their body or their inner skin (for example, inside their lip) but it does not include the rupture of blood vessels so, if the injury is just bruising, that would not amount to wounding. The injuries involved in a wounding can be less serious than those in GBH.
Sentencing Grievous bodily harm or wounding: • the maximum sentence is five years' custody. • if the assault is racially or religiously aggravated, the maximum sentence is seven years' custody
