A MAN has been jailed for five years for a horror attack while wearing a Batman costume outside a Redditch club.

David Thomas Gordon, 32, of West Heath, was sentenced at Worcester Crown Court on Monday for the assault during a fancy dress party at Club Ventura in the early hours of August 12.

Ted Hugh Perry suffered serious facial injuries, including two broken eye sockets and a broken nose.

Gordon was warned he would be jailed for life if he was convicted of a similar offence again.
