Chair Attacker Sentenced to Service

Tuesday, April 24, 2007 7:07:30 AM

 This is an x-ray image of a chair leg lodged in Shafique el-Fahkri's left eye socket, taken after an attack outside the Metro Nightclub in Bourke Street in Melbourne, Australia on Jan. 21, 2007. El-Fahkri fell to the ground after the leg of a metal chair thrown by Liam Peart speared into his eye socket and down his neck following several fights near the club. The victim's eyeball moved to the side and he spent a month in intensive care. While he has 95 percent of his vision back, the incident left him with a raspy voice, Australia's AAP news agency said. Liam Peart was convicted and sentenced to a two-year community based order and ordered to undertake 400 hours of community work in the Melbourne Magistrates Court Tuesday, April 24, 2007 for the attack.  (AP Photo/AAPImage) MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) - An Australian man who hurled a metal chair at another man, leaving one of its legs lodged 4 inches into his eye socket and neck, was sentenced Tuesday to 400 hours of community service.

Liam Peart, 20, hurled the metal chair during a nightclub brawl in Melbourne in January, hitting Shafique El-Fahkri, who was standing about 10 feet away.

A leg of the chair plunged into his eye socket and down into his neck.
