A drinker who injured a man in a Scarborough pub so badly he needed plastic surgery to his face has been jailed.
Jamie Mark Liley headbutted his victim twice and had to be stopped by members of the public.
The victim needed 20 stitches and reconstructive surgery following the attack.
Liley, who is 38 and from Scarborough, was arrested and interviewed by detectives.
The case was sent to York Crown Court where he pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm during the incident in December 2023.
Today he was sentenced to 15 months in prison.
After the hearing, Detective Constable Sam Rivers, of Scarborough CID, said:
“This case is a stark reminder that violence will not be tolerated by North Yorkshire Police.
“The victim in this case suffered a serious injury requiring over 20 stitches, and credit must be given to him for his patience and solidarity going through the court process.
“The evidence gathered early on by police forced the defendant to plead guilty on the first day of his trial.
“I hope the sentence today can be some form of closure for the victim and his family and a reminder to all those enjoying the nighttime economy that this type of behaviour can have serious consequences.”
