Man jailed for 3 years for ‘horrific’ attack on elderly British Sikh

Date:

London, Oct 10 (PTI) A 28-year-old man has been sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to the “horrific” assault of an elderly British Sikh community leader walking home in Manchester.

Manchester Crown Court heard last week that 62-year-old Avtar Singh was walking home from work through the city centre in June when 28-year-old Claudio Campos, who was with his partner at the time, began walking behind him and violently punched him to the head.

Singh, well-known as a local priest in his neighbourhood, fell into the middle of the road where he stayed unconscious until a passer-by called for an ambulance and he was taken to hospital, where he has since remained receiving treatment for a “life changing” brain injury.
