A DJ who was working in a Jesmond bar glassed a party-goer on St Patrick's Day after he closed his laptop and put a stop to the music.
Aiden Copland was working as a DJ and using a laptop to play music in the Holy Hobo bar shortly before the first Covid lockdown came into force on March 17 2020. But at some point during the night, a student closed Copland's laptop, abruptly cutting out the music in the busy bar.
It was then that Copland glassed the student to the head, causing a gash to his temple which required hospital treatment and surgery. The glassing left the student with significant injuries and is now permanently scarred.
