A violent thug kicked a man when he was down on the ground for "sheer pleasure" after watching him take a brutal beating from his friend.
Daryl Leighton didn't know the victim, had no grudge against him and had just seen him savagely attacked by Patrick Kelly, who videoed himself kicking him in the face and put it on Tik Tok. Kelly is awaiting sentence for the serious violence he used.
Newcastle Crown Court heard Leighton delivered five or six kicks to the victim's side as he lay on the ground in Whitley Bay town centre on a Saturday morning. It was on April 2 this year around 9.15 am when the victim was on his way to the gym that he bumped into the pair.
