LINCOLN, Neb. — A Lincoln man has been sentenced to 15 to 23 years in prison for assaulting another man, stealing his car then running the man over as he drove away.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that 19-year-old Khalid Osman was sentenced Friday in Lancaster County District Court.

Osman was found guilty on March 10 of robbery, second-degree assault, failure to stop and render aid in an accident causing serious injury, and a weapons count.

He will be eligible for parole after serving about seven years.

Prosecutors say Osman left the 45-year-old victim with a compound leg fracture that required three surgeries.
