Two tanked-up brutes attacked an innocent member of the public after refusing to follow covid rules in a town centre pub.
Daniel Davies and Dean Pleavin, appeared before court this week to be sentenced for their violent attack on Richard Cupit, who was caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The dad-of-two reacted angrily when he was refused service and told to leave and became abusive towards staff.
The court was told that Davies angrily pushed bar manager Gareth Roberts in the chest, according to North Wales Live.
When customers where trying to help edge Davies out the door, he again went for Mr Roberts by the throat before flinging piles of track and trace documents by the door into the air and storming out.
Mr King then played CCTV clips for the court which showed a “clearly agitated” Davies
