First picture of 'green tracksuit top' thug who drilled into man's head

This is the face of a violent thug who tried to drill into a man's head in a sickening unprovoked attack. Jonathan Jackson grabbed hold of Mark Titley at his HMO in Quinton and tried to penetrate his skull with the electric power tool.

The 39-year-old did not even know the victim, who later died of an unrelated heart condition, although it was suspected he had an issue with his friend Patrick Rock who he had come to visit. Jackson was arrested nearby wearing the same distinctive green top the victim had described to the police.

Mr Titley's blood was found on his sleeve and a drill was recovered from Jackson's room but he cowardly denied the attack. He was found guilty of wounding with intent at Birmingham Crown Court following a trial and will be sentenced on September 5 in Warwick.

The incident took place between 2pm and 3pm on January 6 this year at Jackson's HMO in Quinton Road West. Prosecutor Edmund Blackman said: "Mr Titley went there to visit his friend Patrick Rock to lend him £10.

"They met downstairs and went towards Patrick's room up some stairs. As they got to his room a door opened from a neighbouring room and out came a man in a green tracksuit top, the prosecution say was this defendant.

"He was angry, intimidating, aggressive and pretty much out of the blue grabbed Mr Titley and shoved him against a wall. Then with an electric drill stabbed him to the forehead while the drill bit was spinning.

"He pressed the drill into his forehead and tried to drill into his head, while doing that shouting 'I'm going to have you'."

Mr Titley managed to push the drill away but was shoved down the stairs and repeatedly punched by Jackson. He only managed to get away and call the police when Mr Rock intervened.

After being arrested Jackson accepted he had problems with Mr Rock but denied a physical altercation took place and said he had 'no idea' how Mr Titley sustained his head injury.
