Man jailed for Bournemouth nightclub assault
26 year old Kion Marchese left his victim with serious facial injuries
A man's been jailed for 14 months for attacking a man on the dancefloor of a Bournemouth nightclub, leaving him with serious injuries to his face.
Kion Santino Marchese lashed out in the DNA bar on Old Christchurch Road in February 2022.
The 26-year-old from Millstream Close in Poole hit his victim - a man in his 20s - several times, causing him to fall to the ground.
He needed hospital treatment for 'significant lacerations' to his face, in what police have called an unprovoked attack.
Marchese pleaded guilty to wounding or inflicting grievous bodily harm without intent and has been sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court.
Detective Constable Nick Whittaker, of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole CID, said:
“Marchese forcefully hit the victim and it is only through sheer luck that he did not sustain more serious injuries.
“Following our investigative enquiries, we were able to identify Marchese and hold him to account for his actions.
“Violence will not be tolerated in Dorset and we will do all we can to identify those responsible and bring them before the court.”
