A thug who turned up to court intoxicated was left in tears after he and his fellow attacker narrowly avoided prison for an alcohol induced brawl at Manchester Airport.
Liam Roof, 25, and James Robson, 26, both from Stockport, had been drinking with a man in the airport bus station before things turned violent, Minshull Street Crown Court heard.
The court heard the victim instigated the violent exchange following the CCTV footage which showed the group, drinking, shadow boxing with a roll mat and dancing, but was left on the receiving end of a two on one attack as members of the public walked past. Footage from the attack on March 2, 2022, played to the court showed Roof and Robson brutally attack their victim.
