A raging thug left a DJ with a brain injury in a one-punch attack after seeing him kiss the hand of his former partner.
The victim was apologising to the woman for being too drunk to carry out his role as a DJ months earlier when her ex, Michael Williamson-Gallagher, saw red. Already brooding at the end of his relationship, he asked the man to go outside to explain his feelings.
But despite the victim's attempts to calm the situation down, he was suddenly punched hard and fell back, smashing his head on the concrete and suffering a fractured skull and brain injury. Now Williamson-Gallagher, 26, of Moorfoot Gardens, Gateshead, has been jailed at Newcastle Crown Court.
