A thug picked up pieces of broken glass and slashed another man after he "got the better of him" in a fight. The victim was left covered in blood and suffered five wounds.
Conor Dawson, 23, was said to be "looking for a fight" in the early hours of July 3 when he attacked acquaintance Gareth Williams with glass shards in Penarth town centre. It wasn't until after the fight that Mr Williams realised he had been cut by the defendant who ran away after inflicting the injuries.
He was believed to have been drinking or taking drugs as he appeared intoxicated during the fight, which started when Dawson through an unprovoked punch at Mr Williams. A sentencing hearing at Newport Crown Court on Thursday heard the victim had been out with friends when he bumped into Dawson who appeared "agitated".
