A man has been jailed for nearly 10 years for a violent assault in Guisborough earlier this year.
2\6 year old Callum Hunter admitted to causing grievous bodily harm with intent after a local man sustained serious head injuries - resulting in a brain bleed and damage to his skill.
The man hurt says he was the victim of a sudden and unprovoked attack in the street by a group of men which included Callum Hunter, in March.
Cleveland Police say "enquiries quickly determined that the victim, who is in his 40s, had managed to make his way to a private address to seek help having actually been assaulted in the town’s Northgate."
On Friday at Teesside Crown Court, Hunter, of no fixed address was jailed for 9 years and 10 months with 4 years on extended licence.
He is also subject to a restraining order forbidding him from contacting the victim.
Speaking after sentencing, Detective Sergeant Chris Thurston said:
“This individual has a lengthy history of crime and ASB in Guisborough and I’m sure our communities will be relieved that he will now spend a considerable amount of time in prison.
“This was an extremely violent incident which left a man with serious injuries, and these have had lasting effects on him.
“Redcar CID worked tirelessly to establish the circumstances and determine who was involved and Hunter has now been brought to account for his actions.”
