A man has been jailed for 10 years for an assault which left his victim with a bleed on the brain.
At 5am on 8th July last year Dylan Culshaw became involved in a violent altercation in Warner Street, Accrington, following a night out.
Culshaw punched his victim to the floor, before kicking him in the head and rendering him unconscious.
When the disorientated victim got up to remonstrate with Culshaw, he roundhouse kicked him to the face – again rendering him unconscious.
The victim suffered a fractured skull, a bleed on the brain and five broken ribs and a broken nose.
Culshaw, 27, of Willows Lane, Accrington, was arrested later the same morning and charged with Section 18 Wounding.
He was found guilty following a trial at Preston Crown Court last week and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
DS Adele Hassall, of Blackburn CID, said: “The level of violence displayed by Culshaw was completely unacceptable and disproportionate to the situation he found himself in. After the initial savage assault, Culshaw had the opportunity to walk away, but instead chose to kick his disorientated victim to the head.”
