Harry Lock was ordered to pay a Worcester bar doorman £4,000 compensation after leaving him with permanent facial scarring in 2022.

Harry Lock was ordered to pay a doorman £4,000 in compensation at Worcester Crown Court on 27 October after an incident outside a Worcester bar on 25 February 2022. Lock, aged 23 and from Ilkley Close, Warndon Villages, used a glass bottle to deliver 'a number of short blows' to the door staff member during the altercation.

The victim gave a statement to the court describing how he suffered permanent facial scarring from the attack. Judge Jonathan Salmon said the doorman would never forget the day and would see the scars 'every time he brushes his teeth or looks in the mirror'.

Lock pleaded guilty to wounding without intent on the first day of his trial in August. He also admitted being concerned in the supply of class B drugs in 2024. When arrested, police found a small bag of cannabis, a mobile phone, and £220 in cash. The judge handed Lock a suspended sentence, noting that he had 'changed his ways' and led a law-abiding life since the incident.
