The Courts have banned Darren Langridge from Gosport High Street after he attacked someone, kicking and stamping on his unconscious victim.
Both men had been drinking in the nearby Emma’s nightclub earlier in the evening and when Mr Helme made a remark about Langridge’s girlfriend he headbutted him, knocking him to the ground.
The 24-year-old then punched and kicked Mr Helme in the head, shouting: ‘You’re lucky I don’t kill you. You’ll remember my name, my name is Darren.’ Passers-by dragged Langridge away as he continued the assault which left his victim with cuts and bruises to his head and needed 15 stitches to a cut just above his left eye.
Langridge pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm and was jailed for a year but will be out in six months. Once he is free he will not be able to cause trouble in Gosport High Street after a judge at Portsmouth Crown Court gave him a drinking banning order, stopping him from going to the area between 7pm and 4am for 18 months.
If he ignores the ban he can be arrested and face further punishment.
