AN ATTACKER has been found guilty of causing actual bodily harm in an assault in Hereford.

George Taylor was found guilty by magistrates in Hereford in April of one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and one count of causing criminal damage to property valued under £5,000 after entering not guilty pleas at an earlier hearing.

The court heard from prosecutor Paul John that the 23-year-old had assaulted a man, causing him actual bodily harm, in an attack in Hereford on December 16.
