A thug brutally punched a man 'at least 10 times' in Leeds city centre after following him from a nightclub in the early hours.
Blaze Phillips launched the sickening attack on the man whom he knew and had been in The Backroom nightclub on January 20. Phillips then followed him to a shop on Duncan Street after leaving the club around 2am. The incident that followed was caught on CCTV and played to Leeds Crown Court this week. It showed 29-year-old Phillips walk up behind him and and punch him twice.
Appearing in court via video link from HMP Hull, where he was being held on remand, Phillips admitted a charge of attempted GBH with intent. McPherson, of Harehills Avenue, Chapeltown, admitted a charge of ABH. Mitigating for Phillips, Eddison Flint said the father-of-four had showed remorse and made 'full and frank admissions from the get go'. He added: 'I showed him the footage for the first time and he was visibly shaken and mortified at what he was seeing.
