An intoxicated man bit a chunk out of a bouncer's hand after he was thrown out of a bar in Cardiff city centre. He was under the influence of cocaine when he attacked the doorman who was left with a severe injuries to the palm of his hand.
David Vanos, 44, attacked Perry Ponsford at the Boom Battle Bar in the Old Brewery Quarter on December 12 last year. He became angry and aggressive after he was refused entry back into the bar due to his behaviour.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court heard Mr Ponsford and the defendant were involved in a discussion. But as Vanos' aggression ramped up the victim placed his hands on his arm in an attempt to calm him down.
