A "yob" threw a pint glass into the face of a 74 year-old man who asked him to take his feet off the bar, a court has heard.

Brandon Boswell, aged 19, caused an "horrendous" injury to Kenneth Lewis who was now too afraid to leave his home.

Bowell, of Wavell Crescent, Pembroke Dock, admitted unlawful wounding.

Swansea crown court heard today (Friday) how Boswell had been sitting inside the Haven Hotel in Milford Haven with his feet on the bar.

Mr Lewis asked him to remove them and Boswell flew into a rage, shouting about his human rights.

Boswell then threw the glass at Mr Lewis, causing a deep cut to his face.

The police were called and caught up with Boswell as he left the pub. He was so aggressive towards them that armed officers had to be called to the scene.

After his arrest Boswell said he had been drinking lager and shorts and had taken an ecstasy tablet.

Judge Peter Heywood told Boswell he had behaved like a yob.

"On any view this was disgusting behaviour.

"Mr Lewis asked you to take your feet down and you should have shown him some respect. It is just not acceptable and you richly deserve to go to prison."

Judge Heywood said that if Boswell could afford drinks and drugs then he could afford to pay compensation to Mr Lewis.

Boswell was jailed for 12 months, suspended for two years, and told to complete 240 hours of unpaid work for the community.

He must also pay Mr Lewis £1,000.
