A teenager knocked a man unconscious and kicked him repeatedly in the head as he lay on the ground following a row in a pizza shop.
Kane Dunstone carried out the violent attack in Durham city centre after he tried to sell drugs to a couple in a takeaway. The couple refused, saying the incident was "embarrassing", which caused Dunstone to take offence and launch an attack on the man. The 19-year-old punched him in the takeaway and was followed outside where he carried on the attack, hitting him to the floor before kicking him three times in the head as he lay knocked-out in the street.
Durham Crown Court heard the man's partner could hear a "sickening thud" as Dunstone brutally kicked into the victim before running away. The teen was later caught by police and admitted what he'd done, saying "adrenaline" took over.
