A pigeon fancier was left with a broken jaw after being attacked at his loft by a thug donning a disguise.
The victim was tending to his birds very early in the morning when Lee Little turned up wearing a cap, hoodie, sunglasses and hi-vis jacket and armed with a knife. He attacked the victim who ended up blanking out before coming round in the loft.
Now Little, who has previous convictions for violence, has been jailed at Newcastle Crown Court after he admitted inflicting GBH and possessing a bladed article.
