A father-of-six attacked a victim even after he lay unconscious during a "sickening" assault. Michael Daniels subjected his victim to a "prolonged and persistent" attack in the early hours of May 7 last year in "retaliation" over an earlier incident.
Daniels, 33, of Centurion Row, Castlefields, Runcorn, appeared at Chester Crown Court on Friday for sentencing. He previously pleaded guilty to one count of Section 20 assault grievous bodily harm (GBH).
Oliver King, prosecuting, said the problem began after the victim had been walking along Church Street in Runcorn town centre past Wetherspoon to withdraw cash from an ATM, the Liverpool Echo reports.
