A DRUNKEN thug who punched a pub window, cutting a barmaid’s eyeball, was today jailed.
Anthony Deans, 39, of Erskine Street, was locked up for 28 months at Dundee Sheriff Court and placed on a one year supervised release order.
The court heard Deans carried out the attack at the Bush Bar, Seagate, after he was refused alcohol for being “too drunk”.
Barmaid Chelsea Wolecki refused to serve him alcohol and repeatedly asked Deans to leave on February 1 but he kept coming back.
He then, in the pub, repeatedly punched a customer, Raymond Bruce, on the face.
And he punched a pane of glass in the pub’s door, causing it to smash in the direction of Ms Wolecki.
Fiscal depute Saima Racheed said: “She tried to protect herself but she was hit by glass and blood was seen to come from her face.”
Police were called and Deans was later traced at his home.
He challenged police to a fight then punched one officer on the nose. He then headbutted another officer and lashed out at a third officer before he was restrained.
Deans admitted assaulting Raymond Bruce by repeatedly punching him on the face at Bush Bar on February 1 while he was on bail.
He further admitted assaulting Chelsea Wolecki by punching a glass window, which smashed, and glass struck her on the face, to her injury and disfigurement, at the same location on the same date.
Deans further admitted assaulting three police officers at Erskine Street on February 2.
Solicitor Scott Norrie, defending, said: “He’s had time to reflect on his issues.”
In a separate case, Deans admitted assaulting his partner Debbie Patterson by repeatedly striking her on the head, seizing her by the hair and pushing her against the wall, all to her injury, at Session Street, on December 4 last year.
