A thug smashed a glass over the head of a man in an unprovoked and violent attack inside a Sunderland bar.
David McBeth was drinking alone in Joseph's on Holmeside in the city centre at the same time as the victim, who had went for drinks with a friend on November 7, last year. But McBeth, who had only recently been released from prison for a similar violent crime, began causing trouble by threatening other patrons and trying to take their phones.
And later that night, the 32-year-old's behaviour turned violent in the bar when he smashed a glass over a man's head and then continued to hit him with the broken glass. The victim sustained serious injuries which required up to 20 stitches and he was left with permanent scars.
