A man has been sentenced after blinding a motorcyclist in one eye by throwing an egg at him from a car.
Marc Toone, 33, was hit by the missile while travelling home from work in Wigston, Leicestershire in January 2020.
He was taken to hospital but doctors were unable to save his right eye.
Thomas Connor, 18, was given a 12-month training and detention order after pleading guilty to multiple offences at Leicester Magistrates Court.
Leicestershire Police said Connors was driving a car that was linked to several reports of egg throwing on the day Mr Toone was injured.
