A steroid-addicted thug has been jailed for blinding a man in a completely unprovoked attack in a bar in Bristol.
Disturbing CCTV footage shows the moment Peter Clark walked up behind restaurant owner Detjon Prenci and floored him with a punch.
The 27-year-old then stood in a boxing pose before calmly walking out of Wees Lounge Bar in the city centre.
This is the sickening moment thug Peter Clark left restaurant owner Detjon Prenci serious injured in an unprovoked attack in a Bristol bar
Luckily, police identified the steroid user from the footage and he was tracked down and arrested.
This week he was jailed for two years after admitting causing grievous bodily harm.
The attack, which happened on April 22 this year, caused Mr Prenci to fall and hit his head, leaving him with three fractures to his skull.
The victim regained consciousness in Bristol Royal Infirmary unable to see out of his left eye. He left temporary blinded after metal plates were inserted into his skull and suffered from double vision for months after the attack.
Clark, who has repeatedly been before the courts for violence, was jailed this week
Prosecutor David Maunder told Bristol Crown Court: ‘There had been no communication before the two men and it was completely unprovoked. The defendant left the bar leaving Mr Prenci unconscious on the floor.’
It is the sixth time Clark, of Yatton, has been charged over violence.
He was detained aged 15 for smashing someone over the head with a piece of wood after he was threatened by a group of youths.
In 2009 he was convicted of an ‘unprovoked’ racially aggravated assault for punching a man in the head several times while racially abusing the victim’s wife.
Two years later he beat a man to the ground then punched him with a glass during a row.
In 2015 he headbutted a passerby and spat at a police officer after being refused entry to a bar in Park Street.
Later that year he stabbed a victim with a bottle during a fight in Baldwin Street.
The court heard he was exposed to violence and drug use as a child and began taking steroids to ‘protect his mother’.
Judge Peter Blair QC said he had not learned any lessons from his past prison sentences and jailed him again.
