A repeat offender with a rap sheet in the hundreds chased another man through Birkenhead YMCA and battered him over an alleged cash debt.
Christopher Brunt, 42, punched David Goodacre repeatedly after he paid a visit to his room at the YMCA on Whetstone Lane, where they both lived, on February 18, 2023.
Brunt had demanded Mr Goodacre pay back some money he had borrowed - but when the 54-year-old told him he did not have it, he flew into a rage and punched him repeatedly about the head, knocking him unconscious.
