Teen Locked-Up For Hurling Beer Bottle At Drinker's Head



A boozy teenage thug who threw a beer bottle at a fellow-drinker outside a pub - causing a gash to the victim's forehead - was caged for twelve months yesterday.

Anthony Corps, 19, admitted assaulting the man, causing him actual bodily harm, outside Wibbas Down Inn - a JD Wetherspoon pub - in Gladstone Road, Wimbledon (pictured).

Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court heard two groups were hanging around outside the pub when a man from the victim's group asked one of the defendant's friends for a rizla paper.

Members of the defendant's group then began taunting one of the other individuals.

Tempers flared and overly-aggressive Corps had to be led away from the confrontation by one of his pals.

CCTV footage, which was played in court, showed the defendant shrugging off his friend and returning to the row.

He was holding a beer bottle, which he threw at the victim, causing a Y-shaped gash to the man's forehead, which required three stitches.
