A delivery driver was left covered in blood when he was smacked in the head with an iron file by a violent robber.
The Just Eat worker had just dropped off food in Byker, Newcastle, when he was approached by Michael Lindsay. The thug used the tool to attack the driver then stole from him.
Newcastle Crown Court heard the victim was left traumatised by the ordeal and afraid to work in the Byker Wall area again. It was around midnight on the night of May 14 last year that the 40-year-old delivery driver was attacked.
