In another 3am attack on February 4, 2018, a huge pub brawl saw a man headbutted, the landlady hit in the head with a pool cue, and a victim violently assaulted outside, where he was punched and kicked to the floor and had his head stamped on.

The vicious attack left the victim with a shattered cheekbone, a fractured eye socket and a broken nose. He required considerable surgery including a titanium plate to repair and re-attach his cheek and operations on his eye socket, nose and jaw.
