Dan Ryan swung a dumbbell at his neighbour's head, fracturing his eye sockets and knocking out a tooth
A man warned police "they would be responsible for a murder" before knocking his neighbour out with a dumbbell.
The neighbour knew Ryan as a drug user who kept weapons in his flat and did not answer. However Ryan, of Woodlea Road, swung the dumbbell into his face, "as if he wanted to kill him", Mr Bisayra said. The victim was taken to hospital where he remained for three days. His injuries included cuts and fractures to his face, tenderness to his eyes and jaw and a laceration to his tongue. Following the attack he was unable eat solid food and had to live off soup. He still struggles to eat and speak, the court heard.
Dr Lucy Shaw said Ryan presents a high risk of serious harm to the public and would be best managed with a hospital order which would see him detained for inpatient treatment at a secure unit. The court heard Ryan has a history of mental health admissions and previous convictions for violence and harassment.
