LANCASTER COUNTY – A Lancaster County man was sentenced to 20 to 45 years in state prison after a jury found him guilty earlier this year of slashing a man after an altercation at a Lancaster city bar. 45-year-old Syeen Hill of Manor Township was found guilty of attempted criminal homicide, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, and possession of an instrument of crime. Footage from Lancaster Safety Coalition cameras and from surveillance footage taken inside the bar itself showed Hill walking behind the victim while holding a weapon in his hand, then attacking the victim, who suffered a seven-inch wound to his neck as a result of the attack. Police also received an anonymous tip that corroborated the story that Hill had argued with the victim after the two bumped into one another inside the bar.
