A GOOD Samaritan suffered a life-changing injury as he tried to protect girls from a teenager throwing shards of pottery, York Crown Court heard.
Jesse Dear, now 19, smashed a terracotta pot on the ground in the outside area of Haxby Sports Bar during a brawl, said Jessica Noble, prosecuting.
Then he threw shards of the pots, hitting the Good Samaritan on the hand, injuring it so badly, he feared he could lose it.
The man, who works as a postman, had to undergo two hours of surgery to repair his hand, have eight internal stitches and 22 external stitches and doctors have told him at best he will only regain 70 per cent of the use of his fingers.
