'He was a concerned citizen and shouted to ask if all was well - you each took grave exception to that'

A Good Samaritan who tried to help a woman in 'distress' was brutally attacked in front of his daughter by two thug next door neighbours. The victim noticed Dominic Hudson and Paul Bloomfield with two women while he walked down the street 'minding his own business' in Sale, Trafford.

Bloomfield had one woman in a headlock and Hudson, who used to be a successful businessman worth more than £1 million before descending into drug addiction, was shouting at the other. The Good Samaritan, who was with his 12 year-old daughter, shouted out to the women to check if they were okay.

"You each took grave exception to that," a judge said of Hudson and Bloomfield. Bloomfield told him to 'f*** off' before they both pursued him and launched a brutal attack. He was attacked with a pair of scissors and was punched and kicked. At one point he was pinned to the floor.
