A thug warned a dad 'this isn't over' after battering him with a metal wrench in front of his children. John Leach attacked Gary Rigby following an argument at a Bonfire Night fireworks show, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
The 34-year-old struck Mr Rigby twice over the head at around 8.30pm last November 5, the Liverpool Echo reports. Leach left his victim 'unconscious and bleeding' on the ground in front of his girlfriend and two young children near to Moreton train station, Merseyside.
The court heard Mr Rigby was rushed to hospital with serious, non-life threatening injuries. He was treated for a bleed on the brain, a skull fracture and a deep 10cm gash to his head, which needed stapling.

Mr Rigby also suffered an abrasion to his left knee. Leach, of Colworth Road, Speke, left the scene in his girlfriend's car, and was tracked down by police after witnesses reported her number plate. He appeared at Liverpool Crown Court today (May 15), pleading guilty to Section 18 wounding - grievous bodily harm with intent.
Prosecutor Graham Pickavance told the court the incident came about as both Mr Rigby and his family, and Leach and his girlfriend, were leaving a fireworks display at Moreton Hills Golf Centre. Leach's girlfriend drove her Renault Captur in reverse the wrong way down a one-way road, and the victim - who was walking with his children - shouted at her that she was going the wrong way.
Leach, who was a passenger, then got out of his girlfriend's car and argued briefly with the victim before getting back inside. As they drove away, Leach shouted 'I know who you are, Gary Rigby' before adding: "I'll find out where you live. This isn't over."
