A raging and "powerful" bodybuilder committed a brutal blind date attack on a woman in her own home, hitting her on the head with a vodka bottle and kicking her in the face. Darryl Crawford had never even met the woman before, but he accused his would-be girlfriend of "disrespecting" him before the savage beating.
Crawford turned up at her home after another woman helped to fix up the blind date, but the encounter quickly turned nasty when he started drinking heavily before trying to initiate sex, Hull Crown Court heard. Crawford, 32, admitted causing grievous bodily harm to the woman with intent in Bridlington on December 27 and possession of cannabis, HullLive reports.
Charlotte Baines, prosecuting, said Crawford arrived at the woman's Bridlington home by taxi from Leeds at 11pm. He had a bottle of vodka, which he offered to share with the woman and a female friend, and they smoked cannabis together.
