A gang of teenagers punched, kicked and stamped on three Polish men as well as using a crutch as a weapon during a fight outside a Trowbridge town centre takeaway.

Danny Amoroso, his brother Jamie and Luke Reeves were all jailed for six months for their part in the attack in Trowbridge Market Place.

And a fourth man, James Cameron, received a suspended setnence after a judge at Swindon Crown Court heard he had played a lesser part in the incident.

Rachel Marshall, prosecuting, told how 19-year-olds Danny Amoroso and Reeve, and Jamie Amoroso and Cameron, both 18, had been in a club on Saturday May 9.

During the evening she said there had been trouble between their group of about ten males and some Poles, who were asked to leave the establishment.

At about 3am the defendants were getting some fast food at Favourite Chicken and Ribs when the victims arrived at the shop.

Miss Marshall said CCTV showed the eastern Europeans being shoved out of the takeaway before the group set upon them.

The four teenagers, all from Trowbridge, as well as other members of their group stormed out into the street and set upon the three Poles.

As the attack unfolded the three victims were outnumbered and split up as they were attacked by the mob.

She said Danny Amoroso was seen to ‘repeatedly punch and kick’ his victim and when he went to the floor ‘repeatedly stamp on the victim’s head’.

Jamie Amoroso, she said, was ‘frenzied in his assaults’ landing kicks, punches and stamps on his victim’s head later ‘nonchalantly’ walking away.

She said Reeves came out of the shop and picked up a half of the crutch, which had been separated into two, and repeatedly hit one of the men with it.

Miss Marshall said the Crown made it clear that Cameron played a lesser part coming out and punching a man once before walking away from the scene.

The Amoroso brothers, of Meadway, Reeves, of Queens Gardens, and Cameron, of Murray Road, pleaded guilty to affray.

Alex Daymond, for Jamie Amoroso, said the offence was a ‘mix of immaturity and alcohol and being in a group of friends, which is a volatile mix’.

Like his brother he said he still lived at home with his parents and had a job and asked for him to have the opportunity to rehabilitate himself.

Mary Cowe, for Danny Amoroso, said he had dramatically reduced his drinking since the incident and stopped going out in town.

She said after leaving school with GCSEs he was in a well paid job and was alarmed at how he had behaved that night.

Chris Smyth, for Reeves, said his client worked as a commis chef at the exclusive Babington House hotel.

He said he had been honest with the police about what he had done telling him he used the piece of crutch, which was hollow and aluminium, as a weapon.

Mike Jeary, for Cameron, said “He came running out, the first person he saw he punched, then the penny dropped and he stopped and walked away from the scene.”

He said he hoped to the Royal Navy and they said they will take him if he does not get sent to jail.

Passing sentence Judge John McNaught said “On May 9 you four men, fuelled by drink, set upon three Poles.

“All of you bear responsibility for what was done, including kicking, punching and hitting with a part of a crutch. Disgraceful.

“It didn’t go on for very long fortunately for you and even more fortunately for your victims. Mercifully for them and also for you their injuries were not too serious.

“Anyone seeing that DVD would be horrified, as I was and you were when you saw it. Clearly what you did deserves a prison sentence. There is no doubt about that.”

He jailed the Amorosos and Reeves for six months and imposed a 12 week jail term suspended for a year on Cameron and told him to complete 100 hours of unpaid work.
