Stefan Cristian Craciun chased his victim on the Edgware Road before kicking, punching and beating him with his weapon.

The man was attacked following an argument with Craciun and Ergys Lina, 28, in a nearby snooker club in February 2012.

He sustained injuries to his head, forehead, right leg and both arms.

The 31-year-old failed to turn up at his trial at Wood Green Court and was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in his absence.

He was convicted of one count of grievous bodily harm with intent committed.

Lina was also found guilty of the same charge and was given an identical sentence.

Anyone with any information is asked to call police in Brent on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via their website at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
