A thug who left a stranger blinded in one eye after a brutal unprovoked attack has been jailed for more than six years.
Steven Campbell, 27, was captured on CCTV pouncing on Steven Donnelly as he stood outside a supermarket in Glasgow city centre on July 2, 2022.
Drunken Campbell wrongly believed the 42-year-old victim had been involved in an assault on him and his friend during an Orange Walk parade that day.
Mr Donnelly was left so badly hurt that he had to have his right eye removed weeks later. Campbell struck having earlier that year knocked another stranger unconscious following a Rangers and Celtic match.
Campbell - who had been freed early from jail - was only caught in November 2022 after a media appeal to trace him. He was locked up after earlier pleading guilty to both attacks at the High Court in Glasgow.
Campbell was sentenced to a total of five years and two months for the latest crimes. This will only start once he has served 243 days from the previous jail-term he was released from.
Campbell will be monitored for a further two years when he is eventually back on the streets. The victim Mr Donnelly had attended the Orange Walk and was later standing outside a Sainsbury's supermarket in the city's Argyle Street trying to contact a friend.
CCTV footage showed the man - wearing a Rangers top - looking at his phone unaware of Campbell suddenly approaching.
Prosecutor Jennifer Cameron said: "They were not known to each other and (the assault) appears entirely unprovoked.
