A woman who described violence in a YouTube video as unwarranted was attacked by a man who had been drinking heavily all day and struck her over the head with a bottle and punched her in the face.

A three-year jail sentence with the last year suspended was imposed on 27-year-old William Condon for the attack on the 51-year-old woman.
