A man from Tewkesbury's been jailed for three and a half years for a serious assault in Wiltshire.
It happened in Trowbridge in April 2019 - when 43 year-old Terry Parrott, of Lee Road, Tewkesbury punched and then kicked and stamped on a man - after he tried to intervene to stop a domestic incident.
The man was taken to hospital with serious injuries - Parrott pleading guilty to GBH at Winchester Crown Court on Friday.
Sgt James Twyford said: “This was a sustained attack on an individual who was trying to do the right thing and be a good Samaritan.
“Parrott kicked and punched his victim until he lay helpless on the floor, before continuing once again to kick and stamp on his head. His actions were completely disgraceful and the victim describes the incident as the worst thing that has ever happened to him.
“During sentencing, the Judge described this as a prolonged and savage attack that had a profound affect on the victim and his wife.
“I would like to praise the officers involved in putting this man before the courts following what was a complex investigation.”
