A Knowle man who gouged at the eye of his former girlfriend's mum has had his sentence adjourned. Harrison Charles was due to learn his fate today.
The 21-year-old, of Kenmare Road, pleaded guilty to a charge of causing grievous bodily harm on December 5 last year. Instead of passing sentence a judge adjourned the case to July 21, pending a mental health assessment on Charles.
Ian Fenny, prosecuting, told Bristol Crown Court Ms Irwin visited Charles to retrieve her daughter's keys. But he told the court an "absolutely fuming" Charles punched her on the chin and knocked her to the ground.
