Thug kicks victim's head like a rugby ball

Charles White was attacked after he became involved in an argument with a gang of six or seven in Dorking, Surrey on October 17.

Charlie Clark, 19, and co-defendant Luke Boswell, 18, were part of the vicious group that struck at around 1am.

Boswell, who had been drinking heavily, threw the first punch, hitting Mr White in the face.

On shocking CCTV caught at the scene, the whole group can be seen punching Mr White, with Boswell knocking him to the floor before kicking him in the head.

Moments later, a stranger, Jack Lunn, approached Clark to get an explanation about what happened to Mr White.

He was punched unconscious before being kicked in the head.

Mr White suffered a fractured cheek bone, a black eye and broken nose from the attack.

Remarkably, Mr Lunn did not suffer serious injuries.

Clark, of Buckland, Surrey, was jailed for three years on Tuesday at Guildford Crown Court, after being convicted of causing grievous bodily harm, and attempted GBH.

The attempted GBH was after he kicked Jack Lunn in the head as he lay on the ground, having already punched him unconscious.

Boswell, of Dorking, admitted causing GBH and affray, and was handed a 12-month detention order because he was 17 at the time.

Investigating officer DC Helen Simon, of Surrey Police, said, ‘This result finally delivers justice for the victims, one of whom suffered significant injuries but has thankfully now made a full recovery.

‘These were unprovoked and unnecessary attacks clearly catalysed through alcohol and there is no excuse for the behaviour of these men.

‘Surrey Police deals with incidents of this nature extremely seriously and a thorough investigation led to this conviction.’
