A man threw a wine glass at his girlfriend hitting her in the face before biting another diner during a celebratory meal which ‘turned sour’. Michael Davey, 22, and his partner were dining at the Hyssop restaurant in Glossop after he had got a new job, and she got a job interview.
However, the pair began arguing, with Davey’s girlfriend acting ‘angry and volatile’ before leaving the restaurant, Minshull Street Crown Court heard. She then returned and was still ‘enraged’, a judge said.
Davey reacted violently by picking up a wine glass and throwing it, prosecutor Andrew Molloy said. He would later claim that his intention was to simply throw the glass, but it was hurled with such force that it hit his partner in the face causing numerous cuts.
