A thug who beat a father with a wrench in front of his girlfriend and two young children has been jailed. John Leach, 34, launched a brutal attack on dad Gary Rigby in November last year that left the man "unconscious and bleeding" on the ground.
Mr Rigby was assaulted on Pasture Road, near Moreton train station in Merseyside after an argument at a Bonfire Night fireworks show. He was struck twice in the head at around 8.30pm before being taken to hospital with serious but not life threatening injuries, reports the Liverpool Echo.
The father suffered a skull fracture and a bleed on the brain, with a gash of 10cm also inflicted on his head as a result of Leach's attack. He required stapling, and treatment to an abrasion to his left knee in hospital.
