Craig Lamarque was jailed on his son's birthday for the attack, which left his victim with a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain.
A Scots man was left with a brain injury after being knocked unconscious by a doorman on a stag do in Liverpool.
As reported in the Liverpool Echo, the group, from Scotland, had been inside Woody's Sports and Karaoke Bar before they were chucked out. The court heard how Mr Sneddon had been "drunk and being a bit of a nuisance" as well as acting "aggressively" with others in his group. Mr Sneddon then fell backwards and banged his head on the ground, immediately losing consciousness before members of the public, including two off-duty nurses, rushed to his aid. He was taken to hospital and was found to have suffered a "traumatic head injury" - including a 4 to 5cm cut to the back of his head, a fractured skull and left eye and bleeding and bruising to the brain.
When interviewed following his arrest, father-of-two Lamarque denied that he had been the assailant. The 35-year-old, of Connolly Avenue in Bootle, has one previous conviction for possession of a bladed article in 2010, as well as cautions for assault and possession of cocaine. "Today is the day of his son's fourth birthday. He has been very upset talking about the effect on his children, should he lose his freedom today. He is very sorry to Mr Sneddon. He never ever wanted any harm to come to him.He was jailed for 18 months after being convicted of inflicting grievous bodily harm.
"You briefly lent some assistance, then swiftly left the scene - no doubt aware that you had rendered a man unconscious and seriously injured. You lied throughout your interview in an attempt to avoid the consequences of what you did that night.
