A teenage tearaway who tried to break away from his life of crime by becoming a catwalk model is back behind bars.

Korrel Kennedy became a victim of his own success after he was provoked into a fight by a man who recognised him.

Kennedy was racially abused by Mitchell Hillman during an incident in Brighton on July 28.

But when the 17-year-old lost his temper the pair scuffled and Kennedy bit part of his victim's ear off.

The youth, of Gladstone Place, Brighton, was made the subject of an antisocial behaviour order in 2007 for a string of offences when he was just 14.

Kennedy pleaded guilty to affray and was jailed for four months yesterday after Mr Hillman admitted starting the incident.
