He went on a Blackpool caravan holiday with his mum and dad, and it all went downhill from there

A Salford man glassed a reveller at a caravan park after his parents became involved in a row at the bar.

Macauley Walton, 27, was staying at Marton Mere Holiday Village with his mum and dad when the argument erupted on March 5 last year. He "saw red" after returning from the bathroom to find his parents involved in an altercation between two groups of people at the bar.

An onlooker, who was seen on CCTV waving his arms around, also became involved in the tension. Walton, who was drinking from a pint glass, emptied the glass before smashing it on the man's head. The victim suffered a cut to his head which required surgical glue and several grazes to his head and neck. Walton, of Chelford Drive, Swinton, has now been jailed for three years at Preston Crown Court, LancsLive reports.

Sentencing Walton, Judge Guy Mathieson told him: "You could have taken his eye out. You could have cut his throat.

"You came into an incident that seems already to have happened or be happening. The initial incident was nothing to do with the person who ended up being your victim, but he reacted to it.

"You saw him put his hands in the air. He must have been saying or chanting something. He had nothing to do with the initial incident.

"He was part of the crowd, who all reacted in various ways. You didn't stop to understand what had gone on or reflect on how better you might help the situation. You took the view that whatever had happened, his reaction was utterly unjustified and you took it upon yourself to point that out.

"You were aggressive and confrontational. You effectively rose the anger level in that room from what it was to a far higher
