JAILED: Thug left man needing facial reconstruction after he kicked him unconscious in Wolverhampton street
A thug who left a man needing surgery to rebuild his face after kicking the unconscious victim three times in a Wolverhampton street has been locked up for three years and four months.
Mr Ryszard Boron suffered a fractured eye socket and fractured nose in the savage attack launched by Arturs Blohins, who was furious because a friend's computer had not been repaired, the city's crown court was told.
The 21-year-old was so upset that he would not let the young man doing the job - Mr Boron's son Mateusz - leave the house in Lower Villiers Street, Penn Fields until the laptop had been fixed, said Mr Robert Edwards, prosecuting.
Violence flared when the detained man's father came to the address to find out what was happening on September 27, the court heard.
Latvian-born Blohins allowed Mateusz to leave but launched an unprovoked attack by kicking the car of Ryszard who told him to stop damaging the vehicle while preparing to drive away, continued the prosecutor, who added: "That was the last thing he remembers until he woke up in hospital."
The victim was punched hard in the face and banged his head on a brick wall while falling to the ground where he was kicked three times in the face by Bohins, it was said.
Mr Ryszard Boron required reconstructive surgery for fractures to both the nose and eye socket, the court was told.
Mr Michael Fullerton, defending, said Blohins had been drinking beer and was frustrated that his friend's lap top had not been repaired by Mateusz.
The lawyer continued: "He believed it was in a worse state than before and did not want it taken away to continue the repair work. He wanted it put back together in the house."
Blohins, from Lower Villiers Street, admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent and was jailed by Recorder Steven Evans who told him: "The laptop had nothing to do with you but you became involved and frightened the young man who was trying to repair it.
"You prevented him from leaving and he contacted his parents. You allowed him to go after they arrived but you wanted trouble and attacked his father in a sustained unprovoked assault. It is impossible to understand your actions but you are fortunate the injuries were not even more serious."
