A DISPUTE over a dog escaping from a house at East Maitland and approaching young children spiralled into tit-for-tat confrontations before a man was repeatedly struck with a tomahawk during a wild brawl in his frontyard.
James Reece Fogarty, 24, who was armed with the tomahawk, his ex-partner Rebecca Doubleday and her new boyfriend Jai Ryan Duley have all pleaded guilty to their roles in the brawl.
