The violent attack happened shortly after 3am on Saturday, 17 August 2019, on Uxbridge High Street. CCTV footage shows a man gruesomely kicking and stamping on the victim’s head multiple times.
The 34-year-old victim was left in a coma for 17 days after sustaining a skull fracture and brain bleed. He has since been discharged from hospital but is battling to walk again and suffers ongoing physical and psychological trauma.
One Attacker Jailed, Second Still On The Run
Jay Fletcher, 28, from Ennerdale Close, was quickly identified as the main attacker. He was arrested on 23 August and sentenced on 25 February at Isleworth Crown Court to 12 years in jail for grievous bodily harm with intent. Fletcher must serve at least eight years behind bars.
However, the second man seen holding down the victim’s head so Fletcher could kick it is yet to be found.

Detective Constable Oliver Mallett said: “This was a shockingly brutal attack in which a man was repeatedly kicked in the head. I am glad Jay Fletcher has been brought to justice and will spend at least eight years in jail.
“However, the other individual involved remains unidentified. I urge anyone who recognises the man in the released image to come forward. Justice won’t be complete until both attackers are caught.”
