Jamie Moore, 40, of Taylor Street, Blyth, attacked Colin Gibson from behind outside The Flying Horse pub in Blyth in June 2024, picking him up and hurling him to the ground where he landed on a kerb. This occurred after Moore wrongly believed Gibson had pushed his girlfriend during a minor disagreement inside the pub. Gibson, who was on the phone with his mum about his father's funeral the day after his dad's death, suffered multiple broken ribs, bleeding in his chest cavity, required a blood transfusion, lung drainage, and spent a week in intensive care.
