A woman left her partner with a gaping wound to his neck with a broken glass during a drunken row about music.
Tracey Howe and her then-boyfriend starting arguing during a drinking session in January last year. Having consumed two or three bottles of cider, the man went to buy whisky, which Howe didn't want him to do and threatened to have him removed if he consumed it.
He started drinking it and she phoned the police but they left after doing checks as nothing untoward was happening. Emma Dowling, prosecuting, told Newcastle Crown Court it was later on that trouble flared over what music they should have on YouTube.
