Mark Bone, of High Road, Felixstowe denied unlawfully wounding Robert Bowen while they were both living in The Walk, Felixstowe, and was found not guilty by a jury at Ipswich Crown Court.

He also denied wounding Mr Bowen with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. The judge ordered a not guilty verdict on this charge.

After the jury's verdict yesterday, the court heard that Bone had been committed for sentence for offences of burglary, dangerous driving, drink-driving and driving without a licence and insurance.

Bone was ordered to serve 120 days of an unexpired earlier sentence, with 18 months to run consecutively. He was banned from driving for three years.
