'Hired muscle' travelled to Nottingham from London to attack man in street

Two men from London acted as "hired muscle" when they travelled to Netherfield with the belief they were in the county on a "drugs expedition". But the pair ended up using violence on a man in a Netherfield street on September 22, 2021.

Jordy Mumbiny and Daniel Marrett have both been jailed for assault, causing bodily harm, after travelling here on the orders of another person, thinking they were acting as muscle if the need for violence arose. Nottingham Crown Court heard on Friday, March 18, it was not as the men thought. They were actually there for a pre-planned assault on the victim, who lived in Pearson Street, Netherfield.

The victim had moved there with his girlfriend just two days earlier. The group, including the prime mover, who was a third unidentified man, lay in wait for the victim and set upon him when he emerged from his home. Two blows were delivered. The prosecution could not say which defendant dealt the blows. The man momentarily blacked out and fell to the ground where he was stamped on.
