A man has been convicted of grievous bodily harm after he dropped a bowling ball on a council worker’s head from an upper window.

The workman from Nottingham City Council suffered serious injuries, including a fractured skull and brain trauma.

Following a jury trial, Mr Hammond was found guilty of grievous bodily harm with intent and pleaded guilty to affray. He will be sentenced on 29 January 2021.
