Three men, including one from Greenford, have each been jailed for more than four years each after admitting to attacking a man in Weston-super-Mare in June 2024.
Billy Lane, 24, of Greenford and Kyle Nutley, 54, and Nathan Smith, 34, both of Weston-super-Mare, all pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent when they appeared at Bristol Crown Court last week.
On 9 June 2024 at around 8:40pm, the three men attacked the victim in Alexandra Parade following an argument.
The court heard Lane hit the victim before repeatedly kicking him while he was on the floor and then both Nutley and Smith stabbed him.
The victim suffered a collapsed lung and multiple other injuries which he received treatment for in hospital. He has since been released home.
He was given first aid by attending officers and the three men were all arrested less than an hour later and subsequently charged.
They each pleaded guilty when they appeared in court last month (24 March 2025). Lane was sentenced to four years and four months in prison while Nutley and Smith were both jailed for four years and nine months.
DS Charlie Allen said: “This was a brutal attack which the victim was lucky to survive. He suffered horrendous injuries as a result of the actions of Lane, Nutley and Smith that evening but thankfully has made a good recovery.”
DS Allen added: “Each of these three men played a significant part in the attack and have rightly now been handed prison sentences for their involvement.”
