Southport thug ‘BIT HEAD’ of victim in vicious pub assault

A vicious attack on a pub landlords son has been exposed in court.

Magistrates heard yesterday how a 52 year old Southport man set about and left popular publican Annie McTaggart’s son needing hospital treatment after an affray in the Wellington Pub earlier this year.

Annie’s son was left with bite marks in his head and a severely damaged knee in the attack which was witnessed by regulars at the Eastbank Street pub.

Leg injury sustained during the attack

A 52 year old man was found guilty of grievous bodily harm and is due to be sentenced later this month.
