Oh here we go. This was happening on the mainland many years ago. Seems as if the scum that reside here have discovered glassing someone can inflict a lot of damage.
Used to be a prison sentence years ago. This bloke will probably get a suspended sentence and a fine.
Don’t you know about the word??????
