A bully who assaulted two youths in unprovoked attacks on the same night has been jailed.
Buzz Smith was high on drugs when he targeted a 14-year-old and a 17-year-old in the area of a Metro station in South Tyneside. Both boys were left injured and traumatised by the attacks, a court heard.
The 17-year-old victim was on a cycle path near Brockley Whins station in April 2021 when he was targeted. Smith aggressively asked for a cigarette and when told he didn't have one he punched the teenager in the face, knocking him to the ground.
