A man has been jailed for two years and three months for an unprovoked attack on a stranger in Chelmsford.

The victim, a man in his 50s was attacked from behind.

38 year-old Darryl Bright, caused him to fall to the floor unconscious.

He was arrested in January and later charged with GBH without intent.

Investigating officer PC Connor Kerrell said:

“Darryl Bright carried out a horrific, unprovoked attack.

“The consequences of this assault have been significant for the victim who has been left with memory loss.

“I want to pay tribute to his courage and the tenacity of his wife who identified he had been assaulted.

“Bright is a dangerous individual and I am glad he has been removed from our city for the foreseeable future.”
