A MAN received at least 20 punches and had been kicked and stamped upon by two assailants in a Rhyl takeaway, a court heard.

Dale May, 21, unemployed, of Ffynnon Nefydd, Llannefydd, Denbigh, admitted common assault in March but disputed that he also headbutted the victim. 

Magistrates at Llandudno imposed a twelve weeks suspended jail term and a six weeks 7pm-7am curfew with a rehabilitation activity requirement.

May must also pay £200 compensation and £700 costs. A two-year restraining order was made.

Prosecutor James Neary said the second assailant was wanted by police. The victim, Carl Reeves, had been bruised and sore.

Defence solicitor Craig Hutchinson said it was a “chance” meeting with Mr Reeves in the food outlet. “There’s bad blood between Mr May, his family, and the victim in this case,” the lawyer remarked.

Mr Hutchinson accepted it was a “serious, sustained attack.”
