A 23-YEAR-old man has been sentenced to five years in prison after smashing a glass in a man's face at The Legion, Princes Risborough which led to the victim losing an eye.
Anthony Brown from Northfield Road, Princes Risborough was found guilty by a jury at Aylesbury Crown Court of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
He was sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court on Friday following a four day trial where he was found guilty by a majority verdict of 10 to two.
The sentence relates to an assault which took place at the The Legion in Bell Street on Friday, January 16 2009.
Brown ran at a 40-year-old man, who was in the club with friends, and smashed a glass in the left side of this face, which resulted in deep facial lacerations and the victim losing an eye.
Brown fled the scene and was arrested the next day.
Det Con James Oxley, who led the investigation, said: “The victim sustained horrific, life changing injuries, as a result of the assault. I am pleased with the sentence and I hope now Brown is in prison for his actions, the victim can start to rebuild his life.
“I hope this also makes other people aware of the consequences of such actions, is it worth losing years of your life in prison and having a criminal record for the rest of your life which will affect the choices and decisions you can make in the future.”

I agree rose petal,
I dont condone violence but the ''victim'' is a nuisence, he harress people and is a drunk, and he has done plenty on criminal activity in his time!!
I have known Antony for around 10years and although he isnt a close friend he has always been polite and I have never heard of him to be violent. I think he must of been pushed to his limit by the ''victim'' I have known him to constantly go on at people and cause trouble because all he does is drink. He is a waste of space.

If, like you say, the victim has hit young girls, then it should be reported to the police and dealt with in the appropriate way. I'm sure the young girls he has allegedly battered would all be willing to give evidence. You could maybe even have a kangaroo court in Princes Risborough or even brand him a witch and dunk him in the pond!
Was anyone from the bucks free press actually in court............ the victim is a drunk, nuisance, pest & complete bully who hits young girls. He was supposed to be barred from the Legion! he was drunk & already had a fight that afternoon with someone else and thats only the cctv footage...........a lot of provocation
