An internet user has been found guilty of what police said was Britain's first "web-rage" attack.

Paul Gibbons, 47, tracked down John Jones using details obtained online after the pair exchanged insults in an internet chatroom, a court heard.

He travelled 70 miles to Mr Jones' home in Clacton, Essex, and beat him up with a pickaxe handle in December 2005.

Gibbons, of Southwark, south London, admitted unlawful wounding and will be sentenced on 7 November.




Hmm, don;t know what to say really, heard of plenty of punch-ups at lans etc after arguments on-line, but this is taking it to the next level.



I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

What i find most random is the choice of weapon.
Pickaxe handle? Something we all have lying about the house no doubt.
