Two brothers from Cambridgeshire who were caught on camera viciously attacking a man in Peterborough city centre have been jailed for 14 months.
The incident happened in the early hours of Sunday, 29 January.
Patrick Connors and Lawrence Connors both of Palmerston Road, Woodston, denied charges of attempted robbery, which was accepted in court and will lie on file.
They admitted assault causing actual bodily harm.
Detective Constable Kate Jacklin, who investigated, said:“This was a nasty, unprovoked attack on a member of the public. Thankfully his injuries were not serious, however he was knocked unconscious and left traumatised by the incident.
“I hope today’s sentence will serve as a stark warning to the brothers that this behaviour is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated by ourselves or the courts.”
