A MAN who attacked two strangers in an unprovoked assault on a dancefloor after taking booze and cocaine has dodged jail.

Eunan Maguire assaulted friends Aaron Pearson and Aaron Bradley at Sky Nightclub in Donegal town in Co Donegal in the early hours of March 10, 2019.

CCTV footage of the double assault showed the construction worker from Glenview, Ardara, knocking both men to the ground with two single punches before fleeing.

He left one of his victims with a broken jaw and the other scarred for life.

Both men had to receive hospital treatment for their injuries in the aftermath of the attacks.

Mr Bradley received an "uppercut" from the accused and has a scar on his chin from where he was cut having had to receive several stitches.

FRACTURED

His friend Mr Pearson suffered a fractured jaw as a result of the punch from Maguire and had to have a metal plate and screws fitted into his jaw and still finds it difficult to eat.
