After seeing her and her new partner walk past the shop where he worked,
Gallon gave chase on his mountain bike and rode into them at speed as
they were walking along Esplanade Place.
Ms Blake was knocked unconscious and suffered serious head injuries.
Mr Nicholson, who was also knocked to the ground, was then punched and
stamped on by Gallon.

A man who rode his bicycle into his ex-girlfriend and her new partner
has been jailed for 11-and-a-half years. Paul Gallon, 37, targeted the
pair in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside, in November 2016. Holly Blake is
now registered disabled, while William Nicholson also suffered long-term
injuries.

Eleven and a half years? Phew...
Obviously no traffic offence, but a deliberate GBH (and lucky, from the
