heinous attack in a toilet has opened up about how he drinks brandy “every night” to cope with what happened.Phil Diskin's attacker Jack Littleton was originally given a 12-month jail term suspended for 18 months, but now finds himself behind bars after assaulting a woman just six weeks before the suspension ended.Littleton's attack took place at the Sneyd Arms pub in November 2018, Stoke-on-Trent Live reports.Mr Diskin was left needing 16 stitches and spent hours in emergency surgery following the brutal attack.Having now been jailed after attacking a woman and her partner in a similar fashion while drunk at a Christmas party, the 56-year-old said that his attacker should “never” have been left to walk free in the first place.“I knew something like this would happen again because that's the kind of bloke he is.

I knew that was coming," he said.“I hope the lads sort him out in prison - it was bad enough what he did to me, but to grab and throttle a woman and drag her around the pub before one of the bouncers had to pull him off.“He's such a violent little bloke.“All he wants to do is hit people and he doesn't care about what he's done.

He is unhinged, he will think nothing of hitting you. He is a very dangerous young man.“I was just a drunken man in the pub and he beat the s**t out of me - he would not stop.“He blinded me, and my life has changed dramatically because of that.“My brother tries to stop me (drinking) and we fall out over it.

If I'm sober, I can't stop thinking about it. I can't get it out of my head," he said. “When I get in from work, I go to the shop and a buy a litre of brandy because if I don't, I can't get to sleep.
