Stanley thug jailed for glassing man in head with pint glass at social club

A thug who threw a pint glass at a man before glassing another in the head during a disturbance in a social club has been jailed.

Alan Hunt, also known as Alan Smith, started trouble at a Stanley social club on August 3 this year after offending a man by using "racist language". The 21-year-old, who was with his dad, then went on to throw a pint glass at a man's head, before glassing another man who had been entering the club after going out to buy food.

Hunt, of Lime Street, Stanley, appeared at Durham Crown Court via link to be sentenced for wounding with intent and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He had pleaded guilty to the offences.
