Photo / FacebookA UK man notorious for dressing up as The Joker has been jailed for a brutal attack that left a council worker with life-changing injuries. Damien Hammond, 31, had not slept for days and had been smoking synthetic drugs when he dropped a bowling ball from the window of his flat, directly on to his victim's head. Nottingham Crown Court heard that Hammond "unleashed" the bowling ball wrapped in cloth on December 30, 2019. After they insisted they needed to clear it up, Hammond threw the bowling ball down on them "intending to cause them really serious injury", the court heard. "The public are aware that he hangs around town dressed as The Joker, causing public order incidents normally and theft incidents."
