Man jailed for chainsaw attack in Hull pub
bbc.co.uk
A 24-year-old man has been jailed for three years after pleading guilty to attacking customers in a Hull pub with a chainsaw.
Dean Dinnen launched the assault at the Endyke public house, north Hull in August 2011, after being thrown out for smoking on the premises.
He was overpowered by customers, one of whom received injuries to his arm during the incident. Dinnen was later arrested by armed police officers.
Kelly Wilds, who was drinking in the pub with friends, said people feared for their lives.
"People was ushering us out. Somebody picked a chair up to try and disarm him, but he just chopped it in half basically," she said. "All the women were absolutely terrified. God knows what would have happened if they hadn't disarmed him."
Det Con Richard Mills, from Humberside Police, said the consequences of Dinnen's actions could have been much worse.
"It could have been to any end of the scale. A weapon such as that knows no boundaries - anything it touches it will cut.

Kudos to the dudes who disarmed this guy because my scary ass would have been bolting to the door like someone had just walked in with a chainsaw...oh wait, they had. Someone else can try and play hero in that scenario. If there's anything I've learned from watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre and it's numerous awful offspring (especially Part 3 with Renee Zelwegger and Matthew McConaughey) is that you can't fight a dude with a chainsaw but they're fairly easy to leave behind in a race.
Leatherface definitely was never on the track team and I'm guessing this dude would have fallen over drunk if he tried to chase down the bar folk.
