A TENBY man has been cleared by a jury of wounding another man while he was out on the town with a friend.

David Graham Lewis, aged 27, of The Clicketts, had denied the charge.

Declan James Carroll had told Swansea crown court he had needed four stitches in a cut above his eye after being attacked in the early hours of August 31.

But he agreed that he had rushed across the street close to Market Square to confront Mr Lewis, and not the other way round.

And he also admitted that he had been “pretty close” to 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 of drunkenness after consuming five pints of cider and two double vodkas before arriving in Tenby and drinking in several pubs.

Mr Lewis said he had drunk two pints after finishing work at the Hope and Anchor pub and was walking through the town when two or three men approached him and “had a go at me verbally.”

He said punches were then thrown and he had defended himself, but not by hitting Mr Carroll with a pint glass as had been alleged.
