Drunk thug bragged 'that little doughnut got put to sleep' after stamping on teenager's head in brutal attack

A drunken thug stamped on a teenager's head before bragging "that little doughnut got put to sleep" in a vicious attack in Liverpool City Centre. Aidan Dansie, 30, stamped on the head of a 17-year-old man so hard he knocked him out and left behind a footprint.

Dansie punched the stranger to the ground on a night out in a sudden and unprovoked attack. He then bragged: "That little doughnut got put to sleep." Carpenter Dansie claimed the teenager had somehow threatened him with a knife - a lie a judge rejected as "ridiculous".

His victim told Plymouth Crown Court in a statement it was only luck he could walk away without major injury. But he said his head was so painful when he rested on a pillow he struggled to sleep for two weeks.
