A drug-addicted thug smashed a glass bottle over a man's head before subjecting a police officer to a 'disgusting' attack.
Robert Stowar was already on bail for damaging his mother's home and unleashing a tirade of foul racist abuse at a police officer when he attacked the man in Byker, Newcastle, on August 19. He chased after the man, attacking him repeatedly from behind, before picking up a glass bottle and smashing it twice over his head, leaving a wound.
After he was arrested he used wet toilet paper to block the CCTV in his cell, before spitting in a police officer's face. He appeared at Newcastle Crown Court via video link from HMP Durham to be sentenced for the string of offences.
