A man slashed a dad in the face with a Stanley knife blade outside a primary school amid an ongoing dispute.
Derek Smith got into a fight with a dad who had just dropped his child off at a primary school in County Durham and threatened to kill and "cut" him on March 16 this year. The 54-year-old then went on to slash the dad in the face with a blade, causing a gash above his eye and cuts to his cheek.
Smith, of High Street, Willington, Crook, appeared at Durham Crown Court on Wednesday to be sentenced for wounding and possession of a bladed article. He pleaded guilty to the charges at a previous hearing.
