A son kicked a man in the head with a shod foot as the victim was fighting with his father. The attack was caught on film with a woman heard repeatedly shouting "Oh my God" in the background.
David Hathaway, 32, of Blaina, became involved in an altercation with Layton Gray who was taken to the floor by the defendant's father, in Brynmawr on July 18, 2021. A sentencing hearing at Newport Crown Court on Wednesday heard the son and father had been in a pub having played a game of golf when they became involved in an argument with the victim.
Mobile phone footage of the attack was played which showed Hathaway approaching the fight and kicking Mr Gray in the head before punching him, which caused the victim to lost consciousness and tenderness to his jaw. The defendant, of Abertillery Road, was arrested and later pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The court heard he was of previous good character.
