Liam Ryan, 28, from Bradford, was sentenced to 28 months in prison for violent disorder after attacking a black man in Piccadilly Gardens during riots. The incident, captured on video and shared online, showed Ryan punching the victim while others shouted racist abuse.
Liam Ryan, 28, was one of a large group of men who attacked a lone black male in Piccadilly Gardens on July 31. The incident was filmed and posted on social media.
The attack, which prosecutors claimed was ‘clearly racially motivated’, took place against the background of disorder across the country after the attack in Southport which saw three children killed and others seriously injured.Rob Hall, prosecuting, said: “The defendant was seen to throw a right handed punch at the black male but missed him. He then threw a left hand and hit him, then threw another right handed punch that hit him again.
“He claimed he was not affiliated to the far right group,” Mr Hall continued. “He stated he had several drinks and said he did not know why he became involved in the violence. Mr Zelazowski added that Ryan, who works as a window fitter, found the prospect of custody ‘frightening’.
