Marcus Maunder, 18, from Bolton, has escaped jail for the shocking attack following a row between two groups
A teenager has escaped jail after smashing a wine bottle over his victim's head following a row on a train. Marcus Maunder, 18, a warehouse worker from Bolton, was with friends when he got into an argument with another group after they boarded a train at Liverpool’s Lime Street station.
Mr Tomlinson then grabbed Maunder, spat at him and head butted him and got off, the court was told. Maunder retaliated by leaning out of the train door and striking Mr Ruddock, rather than Mr Tomlinson, on the back of the head with the bottle, which broke on impact.In an impact statement Mr Ruddock, who was left with a small scar after the incident on September 11 last year, said the incident had little or no real impact on his physical condition.
The judge, Recorder Mark Ainsworth, said that the language used by Maunder towards the young woman was 'frankly disgusting' and that his behaviour had been 'disgraceful', adding: "I know it wasn’t all your fault but a large part of it was.” He sentenced Maunder to six months in prison suspended for 18 months and ordered him to pay his victim £500 compensation. He also ordered him to carry out 120 hours unpaid work and 20 days of rehabilitation activities.
