Thomas Fullerton left Liam Day fighting for his life in a pool of blood.
A thug who cut off part of his friend's ear and scratched his name on the victim's chest has been jailed for seven and a half years.
Fullerton returned to the High Court in Glasgow having pled guilty in March to an attempted murder charge. Judge Lord Matthews said the jail-term would have been 10 years, but for the guilty plea.He told Fullerton: "It is clear that, whatever precipitated it, the violence was out of all proportion from what had gone before."
Mr Farrell: "He also had an injury to his left ear with a severed piece lying on the hallway floor near to a pair of blood-stained scissors."The court heard Fullerton had used these weapons to repeatedly strike Mr Day during the sustained attack.The victim was described as "critically unwell" and was initially treated at the scene for an hour by medics to stabilise his condition before going to hospital.
The prosecutor: "He also multiple abrasions to the skin of his chest in the shape of the letters 'TAM'."He advises that he has been diagnosed with PTSD and suffers from fear and anxiety of going anywhere."
