Gateshead man caused 'gruesome' injury to neighbour by splitting his lip in half

Darren Treanor hit the man from behind in an unprovoked attack on July 12, 2019, and left him with a nasty injury that required surgery.

The 43-year-old had been behaving "peculiar" before the incident and said he "wanted to be sectioned" so he could "get a bed".
