Here we look at the thugs who have been before the courts for their savage attacks.
Thug bit girlfriend's finger down to the bone
A savage thug bit his partner's finger down to the bone while on bail for kicking and punching her.
Stuart Hanson and the woman had been in a "turbulent" relationship, with police call-outs on both sides. On June 15 2022, the woman had been to a funeral and got into a row with Hanson, possibly because she thought he was dressed inappropriately when he picked her up.
Violence erupted between the two and he quickly got the upper hand, the court heard. The woman also kicked him in the stomach.
Hanson also punched the victim, who was left with substantial bruising and a closed eye.
Hanson was arrested and bailed with conditions not to contact her. But then on January 8, he attacked her again in an assault that lasted some time, punching her to the floor then kneeling over her and continuing to assault her.
Judge Gittins said: "When she put her hands up trying to resist your assault, you bit down on her two fingers, causing substantial injury. You left her battered and bruised and with damage to her finger, causing a laceration to the tendon in her finger.
"You had effectively bitten down to the bone and burst the joint capsule in another finger. She has been left with permanent restriction in movement to her hand.
"Your behaviour has left her with very real psychological damage. It was a persistent assault."
Hanson, 62, of West Hall Close, Sunderland, pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm and unlawful wounding and was jailed for 40 months and given a ten year restraining order banning him from going go to the woman's home in Gateshead or contacting her.

Savage Andrew Boylin bit the end of his cousin's nose off during a "stupid row" then showed off the severed tip in his mouth to a friend.
Boylin had been treated "like a son" by Craig Carr, who helped support him after his parents died. But he was repaid for his kindness by being left horrendously disfigured in what a judge said was the worst nose-biting case he had ever seen.
After fleeing the scene of the attack, Boylin, 32, of Braeside, Dunston, Gateshead, was seen by an acquaintance with blood on his face and when asked what had happened he put out his tongue to reveal the section of severed nose and said "look at this", adding "I bit his nose off".
On August 11 the pair had spent a considerable amount of time together. Mr Carr suspected Boylin had taken heroin earlier that day and so looked after him. He took him to an appointment with the Probation Service and the court heard Mr Carr would regularly take Boylin to meetings and regarded him more like his own son than his cousin.
Later that day the pair and another man went to a shop and bought some alcohol and there were no issues between them at that point. But when they went to another cousin's house in Lobley Hill, they had a "stupid argument" over a can of lager.
The was told he told him the can he picked up was not his and then attacked him.
Boylin took hold of the end of his nose between his teeth and bit. He pushed you away from him and such was the strength of the bite it tore off the end of his nose.
Mr Carr, who could feel blood running down his face, asked someone to call the police. Boylin then fled the house before bumping into someone he knew.
The court hear Boylin came upon an acquaintance who saw him with blood around his face and asked him what had been going on. He put out his tongue and said 'look at this' and it was the end of Mr Carr's nose.
Boylin, who admitted GBH with intent and possessing a knife, was jailed for five years and nine months with an extended licence period of a further five years. He was also given an indefinite restraining order.

A woman who left her mother covered in blood by biting and hitting her has walked free from court.
A court was told Nadine McCready was suffering acute mental health issues when she subjected her mum to an attack in her home in Benwell, Newcastle, which left her injured and upset.
Newcastle Crown Court heard McCready was living with her mother at the time. In September last year, her mum rang 999 and said she had been attacked by her daughter and was covered in blood.
The court heard police attended and she was covered in blood, distressed and crying. The complainant was spoken to and she said she was assaulted with a mobile phone and bitten to her hands, arms and elbow. At some point she fell to the floor and the defendant told her to stay there and die.
She suffered lacerations to her scalp, bruising to her eyes and had bite marks to her hands, arms and elbow.
McCready, 34, of Milford Road, Benwell, was originally charged with GBH with intent but prosecutors accepted her guilty plea to assault occasioning actual bodily harm. She was sentenced to six months suspended for 12 months with a mental health treatment requirement.

![Ben Chesney, jailed for an attack during which he bit part of his ex partner's ear off]()
A terrified woman had part of her ear bitten off by her former partner after he broke into her home less than a week after he was given a restraining order to protect her.
Ben Chesney lay in wait until the woman entered her house then charged out of a bedroom and started punching and stamping on her. She managed to get out of the property and climbed a three-foot fence to try and get away but he caught up with her, started to strangle her then bit a piece of flesh from her right ear, leaving cartilage exposed and skin missing.
The outdoor part of the onslaught was caught on CCTV and chilling footage played in court captured the victim screaming "please help me" and shouting "oh my god" as she came under repeated attack. Now Chesney, 32, of Dene View Drive, Blyth, Northumberland, has been jailed for eight years, with a four year extended licence to protect the public.
The court was told Chesney was issued with a restraining order by North Tyneside magistrates on September 13 to keep him away from the woman. On September 19, the victim returned to her home and noticed a smell of smoke.
Prosecutor Kate Barnes told the court: "She went towards her bedroom and the defendant charged out of her daughter's room. He had gone into the property without her permission and without her knowledge.
"He pushed her into her bedroom, got on top of her, punching and stamping on her head repeatedly. He put his hand over her mouth to stop her from screaming.
"She managed to break away but he dragged her into the living room by her hair and continued to punch and stamp on her as she lay in a ball. He repeatedly said 'I will kill you'."
The court heard Chesney picked up a bread knife during the attack. The victim pretended to be in and out of consciousness then took the opportunity to run to the back door.
Miss Barnes added: "She flung herself over the three-foot fence around her garden. The defendant caught up, grabbed her and got on top of her.
"He began to strangle her and put his hand over her mouth to stop her screaming." Miss Barnes said the woman bit Chesney's fingers to try and stop the attack but added: "He turned her over and bit a piece of flesh from her right ear.
"He continued to punch and stamp on her head and attempted to drag her back towards the address." Two females who saw what was happening contacted the police and the victim was taken to hospital.
Chesney admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent and three offences of breach of restraining order in relation to unwanted calls and messages. The court heard Chesney grew up in New Zealand and since arriving in the UK he has received a seven year sentence for a stabbing of a man and been convicted of common assault in relation to a woman, who was also bitten and punched in the face.
