A thug glassed a teen with a bottle after jokes ‘making fun of his dad’s suit’ were made at a 65th birthday bash, a court heard.
Gareth Gray, 41, lashed out with the beer bottle after disparaging comments were allegedly made about his father’s attire outside an East Lothian rugby club. His family had hired out a function area at Ross High Rugby Club in Tranent to host the party for his dad, according to the Daily Record.
Hamish McNeill, then 19, was left with blood streaming from a wound after being struck on his ear with the makeshift weapon. Gray appeared at Edinburgh Sherriff Court on Wednesday and pled guilty to a charge of assault to injury.
