Overview
- Jordan Hall, 30, pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm over the January 14, 2021 incident at British Steel in Scunthorpe.
- He received a 10-month prison term suspended, 150 hours of unpaid work, £2,000 compensation, plus £85 costs and a £156 surcharge.
- The victim’s upper body was set alight after Hall threw a lit oil-filled aerosol cap during a break in the gas alley ovens area.
- The man sustained second-degree burns, required skin grafts at Pinderfields Hospital, and has not worked since due to lasting physical and psychological trauma.
- The judge called the act foolish and impulsive, while the defence described it as horseplay without intent to cause serious harm.
