Three brothers who ruined a day out at the seaside for families by taking part in a series of beach brawls have walked free from court.
Michael Cowell, Tony Cowell and Jordan Cowell brought violence and disorder to picturesque Cullercoats bay. A court heard a series of punch-ups broke out as others jeered and encouraged the disgraceful scenes on the beach and promenade.
A grandmother who was at the coast with her son and grandchildren, aged eight and three, was left so shocked by what they witnessed she is now too frightened to take the children back to the popular area. The woman alerted police to what was happening shortly before 7pm on June 25 2020 and reported seeing a number of men fighting.
