TWO Rugby men have been jailed for a ‘vicious’ attack on a man in Leamington town centre.
Osirus Jones and Idris Janjua, both 19, admitted taking part in the assault in Tavistock Street in Leamington on the evening of August 19, when a group of men attacked another man – kicking him in the face and head.
The victim, a man in his 20s, suffered bruising, swelling and cuts to his face.
Jones and Janjua were subsequently arrested by officers.
Jones, of Pinfold Street in Rugby, was later charged with assaulting a person causing actual bodily harm, while Janjua, of Murray Road in Rugby, was charged with the same offence and also assault by beating.
At Coventry Magistrates’ Court, the pair pleaded guilty to all charges and were each sentenced to 12 months in prison.
DC Chris Batchelder said: “Both Janjua and Jones showed a blatant disregard for the victim, repeatedly hitting and kicking him in an attack that was sustained, nasty and vicious. The pair are lucky the victim was not more severely injured.
“I hope the victim can take some comfort from the fact the pair are now behind bars and able to reflect on their actions.”
