Callan McSherry attacked the pensioner after he got in between an argument with his partner.
A Rugby player left his elderly neighbour with a fractured eye socket in a vicious street attack. Callan McSherry, 26, attacked the pensioner after he got in between an argument with his partner, reports Grimsby Live.
McSherry did not take kindly to his neighbour's interjection and punched him in the face three times, knocking him to the ground. The victim sustained a fractured eye socket and the 26-year-old was arrested the same evening of the September 10 attack. The injury to his eye socket has also left the pensioner potentially requiring an operation and suffering with blurred vision. Mitigating, David Godfrey said: "[McSherry] has expressed regret and remorse and is disgusted with what he did.
"He is 65, you are 26, you are a fitter man than he is and he was prepared to challenge you. You marched across the road and asked what it was to do with him."
