A man appeared at Haverfordwest Magistrates' Court after breaking a man's jaw and fracturing his ankle.
A MAN who broke the jaw of a passer-by who stepped in between him and his ex-partner has been sent to Crown Court for sentencing.
Nathan Chilton, 36, of Llanfyrnach, left Nathan Fussell needing a titanium plate fitted with four screws, a replacement tooth, and a fractured right ankle as well as the broken lower jaw in the incident on June 3 last year in Milford Haven.
Crown prosecutor Sian Vaughan said Mr Fussell "just intervened between Chilton and his ex-partner”.
