Aylesbury thug cut man with pint glass in busy town centre pub – Buckinghamshire Live

A thug left an innocent man unconscious with a deep cut to his neck after striking him with a pint glass in an Aylesbury pub – a court has heard.

Police said Brandon Broomhead-Fox, 24, carried out the sickening attack inside The Feathers in Kingsbury Square and CCTV showed him “walking around the pub with clenched fists, punching the air” moments before the assault.
