A man attacked an "unruly" drinker outside of a pub and left him with a severe mental impairment after punching and kicking his head.
Christopher Miller was drinking in Harley's bar in South Shields when a man was refused service due to his behaviour after being requested to comply with Covid regulations. It was then that Miller attempted to escort the man out of the bar, but an argument ensued and the man produced a hammer out of the boot of his car which was parked outside.
Miller then attacked the man, punching and then kicking him in the head, causing him to fall heavily on the concrete. The victim was later taken to hospital and went on to suffer a bleed on the brain and now has a severe mental impairment which is likely to last the rest of his life.
