A man has been left with life-changing injuries after he was glassed.

Keiron Everitt, 37, attacked his victim in Rushmans Road, Horsham, with a pint glass at around 6pm on November 18 last year.

The 23-year-old victim was left with extreme injuries and scarred for life after the “vicious and unprovoked” attack, police said.

When officers arrived at the scene Everitt told them “it’s a shame it wasn’t worse”.

He was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison at Lewes Crown Court on February 12 after admitting causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

Detective Constable Bav Chahal said: “Keiron Everitt is a violent offender who assaulted the victim in a vicious and unprovoked attack, leaving him with lifelong scarring.

“This custodial sentence has put a dangerous criminal behind bars, which I hope provides some reassurance to the victim.

“This kind of violence will not be tolerated in Sussex, and we were determined to get justice for the victim.”

Everitt, 37, of Longford Road, Bognor, is now serving his sentence.
