An internet user has been found guilty of what police said was
Britain's first "web-rage" attack.

Paul Gibbons, 47, tracked down John Jones using details obtained online
after the pair exchanged insults in an internet chatroom, a court heard.

He travelled 70 miles to Mr Jones' home in Clacton, Essex, and beat him
up with a pickaxe handle in December 2005.
