Cricklewood man jailed for Hendon street attack
Billy Saunders punched victim unconscious and kicked him around the head
A Cricklewood thug who punched a man knocking him unconscious before repeatedly kicking him around his head has been jailed for four years.
Billy Saunders, 23, of Prayle Grove, attacked the 32-year-old and his friend, 28, following an argument in a Hendon pub over a game of pool.
Wood Green Crown Court heard Saunders was with brothers Christopher and Lee Hayes, 25 and 26 respectively, when they became embroiled in an argument with the two men.
The pair left the pub with three other friends and walked towards Hendon Central Tube station but the trio and their accomplices, some armed with bottles, followed and attacked the two men.
