Among those facing justice were a violent thug who attacked a woman and threatened to kill her, a drunken criminal who bit off part of a doorman’s ear outside a pub, and a criminal who rammed a police vehicle in Leeds before driving off at speed along pavements.
They all appeared before judges in the city, with jail sentences ranging from several months to years.
