Daniel Bourne, aged 25, joined Lewis Bethell and another man in attacking the victim outside Robson's Stores in Sundorne Avenue, Shrewsbury, on March 30, 2020.

Shrewsbury Crown Court heard how Bethell, who had his girlfriend in the car, had an argument with her former partner outside the shop, before they drove off.

Bethell then returned with Bourne and the other protagonist in tow, before launching an attack on the victim outside the shop.

CCTV footage was shown to the court of the pair chasing down the victim, before punches and kicks were rained down.
