A drunken thug attacked three men in a Northumberland town centre - knocking one of them unconscious.
Steven Ross was wandering around Hexham when he encountered three young men in the town centre. The 40-year-old then launched an unprovoked and violent attack on the three men.
During the incident, Ross punched one of the men to the head, causing him to fall backwards onto the concrete pavement and he was knocked unconscious until he was taken to hospital. The punch caused significant injury to the man who now must abstain from alcohol and driving due to the serious risk of epileptic seizures.
