A violent thug rained down blows on his girlfriend's face after she threw a chicken burger at him for refusing to let her use his phone.
Shurn Hall left the young woman with permanent damage to her eye in a shocking attack at his home in Blyth, Northumberland, after which he refused to get her the medical help she needed. Newcastle Crown Court heard she was left with multiple facial fractures, a blood clot behind her eye and is likely to have permanent issues with double vision.
The attack happened at Hall's flat on February 12. Jessica Slaughter, prosecuting, said: "An argument began because she wanted to use his phone and he would not let her, which made her think he had something to hide." She left his home but it was snowing and cold so she returned and asked to use his phone to call a taxi, which he refused.
