A THUG fly who kicked a woman unconscious has been jailed for 14 months.

James Stewart attacked Julie McInally last September 13 knocking out her two front teeth.

The 29-year-old lashed out after the victim had a confrontation with his ex-lover Lyndsay Callaghan, 35, in the street in Glasgow’s Sandyhills.

Police eventually had to use a Taser stun gun to arrest Stewart.

Stewart pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assaulting Miss McInally to her severe injury.

Describing the attack, prosecutor Jennifer McKee said: “Stewart ran towards the two women.

“What can only be described as high or flying kicks took place to Miss McInally’s head.

“She fell to the ground and was rendered unconscious.”

Callaghan went on to kick and bite two constables when they turned up.

She pleaded to those assaults and resisting the officers and was sentenced to a community payback order by Sheriff Joseph Platt.

Graeme Brown, defending Stewart, said he had initially planned to break-up the row between the two women.
