A mechanic caused a "nasty" laceration to a man's head after turning up to his home and attacking him with a metal bar.
Cameron Pendlington carried out the "revenge" attack in the Bearpark area of Durham on April 1, last year. The 21-year-old turned up to the victim's home, accompanied by others, and tried to gain entry after believing the man had damaged a car.
The victim refused to fully open the door, but Pendlington still managed to hit him with the metal bar, causing a cut to the man's head, before fleeing. Pendlington, of Wynyard, Chester-le-Street, appeared at Durham Crown Court on Thursday to be sentenced for assault occasioning actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon.
