Horrific CCTV footage has emerged showing a teenage thug repeatedly stamping on a man as he was swarmed by a mob and brutally attacked outside a McDonald's.
The victim is surrounded and eventually knocked to the floor before he is hit with a number of vicious blows in the 4am attack.
CCTV cameras outside the fast food restaurant captured the shocking assault, and the video has been made public just days after Troy Augustine was spared jail.
The Huddersfield Daily Examiner has obtained the footage to highlight the violence taking place in or around the restaurant following a series of attacks or mass brawls.
Last week, Augustine, 19, pleaded guilty to an offence of affray when he appeared at Kirklees Magistrates’ Court.
His attack in Huddersfield town centre on May 7 came after an earlier brawl involving two other men.
Augustine, of Balmoral Avenue in Crosland Moor, then became involved in the melee with a number of other individuals.
As punches are thrown at the victim he is eventually knocked to the floor and Augustine launches into his assault.
He is seen to stamp on the victim before being pulled away.
The footage shows Augustine then go back to the victim and stamp on him twice more.
He then returns a third time and stamps on the victim one last time.
As police arrive, the victim is seen getting to his feet.
Several attacks have taken place in or around the restaurant in recent months, including mass brawls and the latest incident left a man in his 30s fighting for his life.
Kirklees council and West Yorkshire Police are now working together to see what can be done about the late-night and early morning incidents.
In the meantime McDonald’s bosses have promised to increase security at the restaurant.
Augustine was told he had escaped jail by a ‘squeak’ and he was instead sentenced to a 12 week curfew between the hours of 8pm and 7am to stop him from getting into trouble in the town late at night.
He must go to a youth attendance centre for 20 hours where he will work on addressing his offending behaviour.
Augustine will also have to pay £85 costs and £115 victim surcharge.
