A street attack on a father and son ensued after a man who was accused of urinating on a van called for back up when he was told to clean it up.
Harry Woolliston urinated on a van on a residential street but was caught in the act by the homeowner and was told to clean it up on the night of June 14, last year. But rather than clean up the mess he made, Woolliston instead called for back up, and two cars soon arrived on the street, with Woolliston's friend, Jonathon Towler getting out. The duo, assisted by a woman, then carried out an attack on the man and his son.
Woolliston, 25, of Strathmore Crescent, Burnopfield, and Towler, 27, of Keswick Road, Stanley, appeared at Durham Crown Court to be jointly sentenced for affray. They had both pleaded guilty to the charge at a previous hearing.
