Gareth Clarkson attacked his victim in Shrewsbury, raining down multiple blows including a kick to the head while the man was down.

Clarkson, of Gallowstree Bank, Welshpool, was due to face sentence this week after admitting inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent, but his lawyer asked Shrewsbury Crown Court for more time so a pre-sentence report could be prepared.

That came after Clarkson failed to attend a probation meeting for a report to be prepared, to help the court understand why he did what he did.
