first victim Mr Davies said he has been scarred on his nose from the attack and now suffers from breathing difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>Martyn Walsh, prosecuting at Liverpool Crown Court, said that after Stephens&apos; third request for an apology was ignored by Mr Davies, he grabbed him around the neck and actually bit him around the nose.<\/p>\n<p>Stephens was thrown out of the bar, where Mr Duggan, an off-duty doorman at Keith&apos;s, was having a cigarette, at around 1.15am.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article23269310.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_Lee-Stephens-outside-Liverpool-Crown-Court.jpg\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<figure data-mod=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article23268739.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615\/0_SWNS_PAUL_RAPSON_002.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>Scumbag paedo made 3D prints of genitals and took pics wearing children&apos;s underwear<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mr Duggan spoke to Mr Davies, who complained about his injury, before Stephens lunged forward and tried to bite the bouncer&apos;s eyebrow.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Walsh said Stephens also tried to throw a punch at Mr Duggan, but missed, and the doorman took him to the ground to restrain him when he felt teeth tear his finger.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article23269314.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_Lee-Stephens-outside-Liverpool-Crown-Court.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Following his arrest, Stephens claimed to have little memory of events and was shocked by CCTV footage from the night, which he cried at while watching in the dock.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Woodhall said Stephens&apos; initial claim that Mr Davies was in some way the aggressor was &quot;bound to fail&quot; before a jury.<\/p>\n<p>Defending, Peter White conceded Mr Davies was just being &quot;jovial&quot; and didn&apos;t present any threat, while Stephens was a &quot;drunken pest&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>He added that Mr Duggan should not have been placed in a position where he had to use force.<\/p>\n<p>Mr White said: &quot;One can hardly blame him for using the force in any event, given Mr Stephens was being a drunken pest outside the bar where he provides security.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The lawyer explained Stephens&apos; reasoning behind his actions was that he &quot;drank too much&quot; after going out for a meal with a friend and was &quot;not a big drinker&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>Stephens, who has 16 previous convictions for 22 offences, was handed nine months in prison, suspended for 15 months, 200 hours of unpaid work and a 30-day Rehabilitation Activity Requirement.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Crime<\/li>\n<li>Courts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/news\/latest-news\/drunk-pest-who-bit-punters-23269333\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Daily Star&#8217;s FREE newsletter is spectacular!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":107438,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23056],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&#039;Drunk pest&#039;
