A homeless man split open the head of his victim with one sharp smack to the head with his walking stick. CCTV played at Nottingham Crown Court showed the victim sitting in a city centre McDonald's with a group of friends when all of a sudden he was attacked by John Williams.
“Then, while you were on bail for that offence, you produced a multitool and threatened a different individual. I accept he was raising a chair in the direction of another homeless person outside The Bell but you can’t threaten someone with a bladed article. That is not the appropriate response.” “He has made a victim impact statement and in it he says it took three weeks to heal and now he feels more anxious when out in public and less confident to go out anymore.
