Monkseaton Man Avoids Jail After Biting Metro Worker
A drunken yob who sank his teeth into a Metro worker and assaulted two others has been spared jail.
Disgraceful John Moon turned aggressive onboard a train and on a platform when he was asked to produce a ticket.
A court heard that the 32-year-old was spitting and had to be detained by three Nexus employees while the police were called but refused to calm down. Instead, he bit one worker and shoved the other two during a shocking outburst of violence. Moon, was arrested and pleaded guilty to three counts of assault by beating and a public order offence.
Magistrates in North Tyneside were told that the victim of the bite was left with a puncture wound to his hand.
Rebecca Gibson, prosecuting, said that one of the victims approached Moon at around 6.15pm on February 14 and asked to see his ticket. He immediately became verbally aggressive, tried repeatedly to grab her body-worn camera and told her to “get the f**k away from me”.
Mrs Gibson continued: “[The victim] explained to him that she had activated her body-worn camera. The defendant tried to grab it again.
“Her colleague then came from behind and asked the defendant to sit down. He screamed “get the f**k away from me”. He then picked up a can, which was open, and threw the contents of it over the carriage.
“The colleague radioed for assistance and another staff member appeared. He pushed the defendant up against he carriage doors.”
The court heard that the three workers detained Moon while the train pulled into West Monkseaton Metro Station but he continued to be abusive and tried to break free on the platform.
Mrs Gibson added: “The defendant then assaulted one of the staff members by biting him. The victim described that he bit his left hand and broke the skin.
“The defendant was also spitting. He doesn’t spit at the victims but is spitting in general.
“The other two employees were pushed by the defendant.”
The police were called and Moon was arrested but claimed he had little recollection of events. In a statement, one victim said: “I strongly believe that, had we not managed to detain John Moon, me or my colleagues could have ended up on the tracks.”
Do you think he deserved jail time?

We were at the first Saudi International football match to be played at St James Park on the 8th September where Saudi Arabia played Costa Rica.
The match was controversial as normally home international games are played at their own country however it a sign of the strengthening relationship with Saudi Arabia and Newcastle united in a move that is beneficial for both parties with Newcastle United able to bring in more income and therefore more allowance for FFP as well as increasing a NUFC fanbase internationally and in Saudi.
At the event were Newcastle Sports Washing Group – as well as our usual speaking to fans before the game we spoke to two of them, the head of the organisation and then also we captured footage which saw a confrontation between NUFC fans and the sports washing group – we managed to get their response to what their ambitions were.
We would note this was a very small group and protest but were getting national coverage as Sky Sports and others were interviewing them. The Saudi fans that we spoke to either did not want to talk about the controversy or mentioned how its unfair that the spot light is in Saudi when there are so much wrongs all over the world from other countries. We have out two videos below, let us know in the YouTube videos comment section our thoughts – we read and respond to all comments and follow our You Tube channel for not only NUFC content but everything NUFC with lots of great local videos..

Newcastle United are reportedly set to complete the deadline-day signing of Shrewsbury Town starlet before the window closes!
According to the Shropshire Star, Newcastle United are closing in on a deal for highly-rated Shrewsbury midfielder Travis Hernes, who is on Tyneside today to put pen to paper on a deal with the north-east giants.
Travis Hernes is widely known as being one of the best young prospects in League 1! The Magpies have made five signings ahead of deadline day, with Yankuba Minteh joining before going out on loan to Feyenoord and Sandro Tonali, Harvey Barnes, Tino Livramento, and Lewis Hall adding to Howe’s first-team squad.
In total, just over£130 million has been splashed by the club plus the approximately £30 million they will be obligated to pay Chelsea for Hall following the end of his loan next summer.
Travis Hernes is a 17-year-old Norway youth international first broke onto the scene last season when he scored in Town’s EFL Trophy campaign against Wolverhampton Wanderers Under-21s.
He has been brought off the bench in two of the club’s League One outings this term, and he also featured against Leeds United in the Carabao Cup last month. The youngster was rewarded with his first professional deal with the third-tier outfit at the start of August.
That contract does not expire until the summer of 2026. But the Shropshire Star now reports the young midfielder is set to join Newcastle after travelling to the North East on Thursday to finalise a deadline-day move. Shrewsbury have reportedly received a 20 percent sell-on clause as part of the deal, with the Shropshire outfit also receiving an undisclosed fee from NUFC.
