crazy fucker

Drinkers were forced to flee for their lives when a drug-fuelled maniac burst into their pub and lunged at them with a chainsaw just minutes after he was thrown out for smoking.
Dean Dinnen, 24, charged into The Endyke pub in Hull, armed with the petrol-driven chainsaw to exact revenge on a fellow customer who forced him to put out his cigarette.



As he marched up to the door of the pub with the chainsaw running he turned and jabbed it towards passer-by who ran to get out of his way.
And once inside the pub customers were forced to defend themselves with bar stools as Dinnen lashed out
Drinker Adrian Pryor, suffered ruptured tendons as he desperately tried to defend himself with a bar stool.
Dinnen was only stopped after customers managed to overpower him with chairs, bar stools and pool cues. The man he was looking for had actually left before his return.
Prosecutor Jharna Jobes said Dinnen was drunk at the pub and was escorted out by a man who objected to him smoking and told him to stop.
The male took him outside and Dinnen claimed he beat him up. He then returned home to find the chainsaw.
'He returned to the car park with the chainsaw,' said Ms Jobes. 'He had it in front of him He was revving the chain saw up and frightening people.
'He then entered the pub. But the man he was looking for had gone.
'A separate fight in the pub was coming to an end in which Mr Pryor was going to the assistance of his friend.'
Dinnen brought the pub to a standstill with customers falling over themselves to escape as he walked around the bar revving and swinging the chainsaw.
He hit Mr Pryor, who had tried to defend himself with a barstool, with the razor sharp teeth slicing through a tendon.
Mr Pryor, a plumber, needed 21 stitches and six weeks off work to recover from the attack.
At one point Dinnen cut the way through a fire door with the chainsaw. A man was stood on the other side holding a beer barrel to try to stop him leaving.
Dinnen was eventually disarmed by a kick and then battered onto the ground by pub-goers. He received broken ribs and a punctured lung before armed police arrived.
Eyewitness Adel Fletcher said: 'I could not believe my eyes. The saw was being swung around people were arching their bodies to swerve away from him.
'It was unbelievable what was happening I feared for my own safety.
Another eyewitness, Kevin Fletcher, said: 'I ran. I did not look back. I could hear the chainsaw screaming behind me I got the feeling he was right behind me.
'I fell over on the way out and got up and ran again I thought if I had been at the back of the crowd I would be dead.'
Dinnen of Thorgill Grove, west Hull, pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm on Mr Pryor and affray by using threatening behaviour to cause people to fear for their safety.
He also accepted charges of having an offensive weapon and criminal damage.
Richard Woolfall, defending, said: 'He went in with it primarily to scare. He was very much under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
'He went back looking for the man he says took him outside and punished him for disrespecting the smoking ban. He accepts it must have been terrifying.'
Passing sentence at Hull Crown Court, Judge Michael Mettyear said Dinnen had a miserable record for theft, dishonesty and burglary.
'This was a really horrendous incident. It must have been so frightening for the people there,' the judge said.
'The sound alone of this machine must have, and did, terrify people. I can only imagine the injuries that could have been caused.
'This could have been much worse than then the unfortunate victim has received. What aggravates this is you were on a mixture of drugs and alcohol at the time.'
