A thug threatened to kill an innocent dogwalker's beloved pet then attacked him with a glass bottle.
Bradley Wood had only been freed from prison weeks before the unprovoked assault, which also saw him knock his victim's tooth out as he rugby tackled him to the floor before biting him in the head. But the 31-year-old has walked free from court after his latest offending.
Liverpool Crown Court heard yesterday, Wednesday, that Stephen Wager was walking with his partner and their dog near to the Vulcan Inn on Manchester Row, Newton-le-Willows, on April 15 last year when he was subjected to an "unprovoked assault in broad daylight". But Ben Berkson, prosecuting, described how Wood "took umbrage" with him and felt that he was "staring at him and confronted him".
