A thug warned a dad 'this isn't over' after battering him with a metal wrench in front of his children. John Leach attacked Gary Rigby following an argument at a Bonfire Night fireworks show, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
The 34-year-old struck Mr Rigby twice over the head at around 8.30pm last November 5, the Liverpool Echo reports. Leach left his victim 'unconscious and bleeding' on the ground in front of his girlfriend and two young children near to Moreton train station, Merseyside.
The court heard Mr Rigby was rushed to hospital with serious, non-life threatening injuries. He was treated for a bleed on the brain, a skull fracture and a deep 10cm gash to his head, which needed stapling.
