A man used a sharpened dog tag to slash his uncle’s face after a fight in a pub.
Paul Blackhurst, 29, of Knowles Street, Wigan, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday after attacking his uncle following an argument in the pub.
On December 18, 2021, Blackhurst joined his family at a party at the Jubilee Inn, in Litherland, where his uncle, William Lloyd, was also present. A court heard that the pair had a prolonged verbal altercation at the party at around 11pm, which resulted in Blackhurst striking Mr Lloyd in the face with the sharpened edge of a dog tag.
