A NEWQUAY man has been jailed after a row about noise coming from a friend's flat erupted into violence.

 

Jake Henderson, of Pentire Avenue, was handed a four-week sentence after pleading guilty to assault by beating at Bodmin Magistrates' Court on Thursday last week.

 

The 21-year-old had been downing alcoholic drink with Daniel Eva, 22, at Kinsman Estate in Bodmin on December 6 when Eva began arguing with his girlfriend. Prosecutor Jill Wilson told the court that the victim had been standing with a girl outside the flats at 4.30pm when complaints about the noise sparked a "slanging match".

 

Henderson then came out, ran at the victim and punched him in the cheek before repeatedly swinging further punches. The man ran away, chased by Eva who said he would burn his house down.

 

Eva then punched him in the nose and kicked him in the testicles, leaving the victim in "unbelievable pain".
