Kieran Salkeld, 28, and Jake Duffy, 22, have been handed tough prison sentences after violently attacking a man on a bike in Rock Ferry.
Bike Rider Chased and Battered by Red Vauxhall Gang
The victim was chased and assaulted by the two men in a red Vauxhall Crossland near Bedford Road and Highfield Road on December 23, just before noon. He suffered multiple injuries to his face and lower back and had to be rushed to hospital.
No Mercy for Attackers
- Salkeld, from Enerby Close, Beechwood, was sentenced to 27 months for assault plus 9 months for affray.
- Duffy, from Arley Close, Beechwood, got two years for assault and nine months for affray.
Both were arrested in early January—Duffy on the 5th and Salkeld on the 7th—and charged two days later.
“Salkeld and Duffy showed no remorse for their victim as they brutally attacked him on a residential street in front of several witnesses,” said Detective Inspector Anna Hackett.
“The attack caused great fear in our community, and I would like to thank the residents who assisted our officers with their investigation.
“I hope this outcome demonstrates that such physical violence will not be tolerated or accepted on Merseyside’s streets, and we will thoroughly investigate and prosecute any offenders.”
