Violent Rampage in Huddersfield Town Centre
Kirklees District CID have hailed the sentencing of three men convicted for a savage attack on March 1, 2020. The violence erupted in the early hours on Cross Church Street, Huddersfield, where two men were set upon by a group of attackers. One victim was brutally assaulted while lying on the ground, suffering serious injuries.
Lengthy Sentences for the Attackers
- Mohammed Asad, 23, of Bentley Street, was handed eight years and three months. He was convicted of unlawful wounding on both victims, affray, possession of a bladed weapon, and possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
- Conor Lyons, 27, from Brook Street, received two years and eight months for affray and unlawful wounding of one victim.
- Kamil Wlasiuk, 21, of Browning Road, got 18 months for affray and one count of unlawful wounding.
All three pleaded guilty to the charges.
Police Praise Swift Justice
“We welcome the sentencing of these three men for what was a disgraceful display of violence in Huddersfield town centre,” said Detective Inspector Oliver Coates of Kirklees CID.
“One of the victims was attacked even as he lay on the floor — it’s a miracle he wasn’t more seriously hurt given the ferocity of the assault.”
“The defendants were identified and swiftly arrested, and I hope their convictions bring some comfort to the victims.”
