A Blackburn man has been jailed for a violent street attack that left a man with a fractured eye socket.
Kenny, 30, punched the man on the side of the head, knocking him to the floor, then reigned further blows on him.
The next day, Kenny approached the man in Blackburn town centre, asking him if he had reported the assault to the police.
Kenny threatened him, saying: “If you have, I will do it again. Do you want it again.”
He was arrested by our officers soon after making the threats.
Kenny, of Montrose Street, Blackburn, pleaded guilty at Preston Crown Court last week (25th April) to section 20 inflicting grievous bodily harm and witness intimidation.
A judge jailed him for a total of 25 months, imposing 19 months for inflicting grievous bodily harm and six months for the witness intimidation offence – the sentences to run consecutively.
