A DELIVERY driver who could have killed a man in a pub glass attack

was yesterday jailed for two years at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.

Sheriff Andrew Bell, when sentencing Graham Wood, 26, of Gilmerton

Dykes Grove, Edinburgh, told him: ''This is one of the most horrific

assaults I have ever heard of.''

Charles Lewis will be scarred for life as a result of the assault,

which left a 20cm cut on his face.

Earlier, the court had heard that Mr Lewis could have died as a result

of the amount of blood he lost during the attack, if he had not received

proper medical treatment.

Mr Lewis spent several days in hospital, after the assault with a pint

glass in the Gordons pub in Gilmerton Dykes Road, Edinburgh, on October

27 last year.

Wood had admitted assaulting Mr Lewis by striking him on the face with

a glass to his severe injury and the danger of his life, and to his

permanent disfigurement.

Wood had taken a cocktail of drink and drugs before the attack but

could give no reason for his behaviour.
