Man's nose bitten off after Rod Stewart gig
By Karon Kelly
The Shields Gazette
AN ATTACKER who bit off part of a man's nose as he queued for food after a Rod Stewart concert has been jailed.
John O'Leary, 43, sank his teeth into Gavin Larkin's face because he wrongly believed he had made a derogatory comment about his wife.
O'Leary spat out the flesh but medics were unable to stitch it back on.
As a result, Mr Larkin, 35, has been left permanently disfigured, with part of his nose missing.
Newcastle Crown Court yesterday heard how the attack happened on June 25 last year, after Mr Larkin had been to see Rod Stewart performing in the city and then was at a food van waiting for some supper.
O'Leary had been on a night out with his wife and the two parties met at the fast food van, where O'Leary believed somebody called his wife.
As a result he pounced on Mr Larkin, who had made no comment about anyone.
Prosecutor Tim Parkin told the court: "The defendant walked off and spat out the part of his nose which he had bitten off. It was over in seconds.
"Sadly for Mr Larkin, though the piece of nose was recovered, it was not possible to satisfactorily re-attach it."
In a statement to the court Mr Larkin said: "As a result of this unprovoked attack I have been left disfigured for life.
"I have been told I require at least two further operations and there is no guarantee my disfigurement will improve."
The court heard how O'Leary had been under enormous personal stress at the time of the attack and did not usually drink.
Defence barrister Tony Davis told the court: "He bitterly, bitterly regrets that Mr Larkin was injured at all."
O'Leary, of Delight Row, Dipton, County Durham, had admitted wounding with intent.
Mr Recorder Stubbs sentenced him to 18 months behind bars.

This board needed me - that much was certain.
There is hope for it yet, but much work to be done... |

This post lacks a cerain maturity needed to make it worthy of notice.
In addition, the reference to dickhead, tip, and extra proud inch display overt insecurity and dissatisfaction with his own junk.
Go back and refocus, then return when you feel truly ready to participate... |

An 18 month jail sentence is not enough of a punishment for that crazy nose biting idiot! He should get 6 years!

This reminds me of the story Prof. Irving Younger would tell to illustrate why one should never ask the "one question too many" on cross-examination. After determining that the witness had not actually seen the defendant bite the victim's ear off, the defense attorney unfortunately did not stop. Instead, he proceeded as follows:
Q: So how do you know that Mr. Defendant bit Mr. Victim's ear off?
A: I saw him spit it out. |
