A GANG of thugs involved in a brutal attack on a dad trying to protect his son from them have been allowed to dodge jail by a judge.
Paul Hannam, 39, was beaten unconscious as he attempted to defend 12-year-old son Josh from an unprovoked assault outside a Chinese takeaway.
Paul and Josh, from Rochdale, Gtr Manchester, were picking up a meal when they were targeted.
The booze-fuelled Asian yobs knocked Josh to the floor with blows to the head.
Stunned by the motiveless assault, Paul challenged them and was set upon....
...Ghulam Hadhar, 18, from Rochdale, Faraz Malik, 20, of Birmingham, and Adnan Nawaz, 20, from Burnley, admitted threatening unlawful violence.
They were given 12-month suspended jail terms. Raja Miah, 22, of Rochdale, was given a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years for violent disorder and unlawful wounding.
He was said to have had “less culpability” because he suffered from schizophrenia.
The 55-year-old judge told him: “People who commit this type of offence must receive a prison sentence” but added: “The Crown decided not to proceed with the more serious offence of GBH.”
