A Windsor resident, who was found guilty of attempted murder in a hammer attack on a 13-year-old teen, has been sentenced to 66 months in prison.

Rafid Jihad, 32, received his sentence in court on Friday. Because of time already served, he will spend 42 months in jail, which is about three and a half years.

Jihad must also provide a DNA sample and has a lifetime weapons ban.

The incident took place on June 6, 2014, in the 1000 block of Church Street.
