A HAYDOCK man has been jailed for 15 months for his part in a 'frenzied attack'.
Thomas Higgins, aged 22, of Juddfield Street, admitted assaulting Daniel Johnson and causing actual bodily harm.
Higgins and his friend Steven Birch, aged 24, a Commonwealth Games silver medallist boxer, carried out the attack following a row with the boxer's mother.
The pair travelled 60 miles to Johnson's home in Rhyl, North Wales, last June, where Birch punched and kicked the victim and stamped on his head - while three young children were in the Abbey Street house.
Simon Driver, defending solicitor for Higgins, said he was particularly embarrassed and remorseful because the children may have been scared.
Birch, of Appleton Road, St Helens, was jailed for two years after also admitting the assault.
