A thug who left his former girlfriend's new boyfriend with facial fractures has walked free from court.
Nathaniel Carter attacked his 18-year-old victim as he sat in his car with a young woman he had been going out with for three months, who was previously in a relationship with Carter.
Newcastle Crown Court heard the attack happened in June 2021. Kevin Wardlaw, prosecuting, said: "When the defendant realised the complainant was in the driver's seat he open the driver's door and the victim felt a number of blows to his face.
