Steven John Russell, 38, lashed out with a metal toilet roll holder at the man who was kissing his estranged partner, said prosecutor Alan Mitcheson.

Russell, of Parliament Street, Norton, pleaded guilty to unlawful violence and was ordered to carry out 150 hours' unpaid work on a community order.

That someone was the estranged partner of Russell, and the attacker was hoping that their relationship could be resumed.
