Seaham man was 'out of control' when he glassed woman and bit her friend's arm

A man glassed a woman in the head, bit her friend's arm and then assaulted a man following an earlier dispute.

Lee Berry was described as being "drunk and aggressive" before he launched the attack on the two women and a man near a block of flats in Seaham on June 7, last year. The 52-year-old left one of the women with injuries which required hospital treatment after hitting her in the head three times with a glass.

Berry appeared at Durham Crown Court to be sentenced for common assault and two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He was found guilty after a trial.
