A smirking thug who ran up and kicked his victim’s head ‘like taking a penalty kick’ at a music festival has been jailed.
Leon Wong, 32, was caught on mobile phone footage running at victim Jordan Holmes and kicking him in the face at the Parklife Weekender in Heaton Park, Manchester, in June.
He had already punched Mr Holmes in the face prior to the kick, and went on to attack his friend Andrew Bartholomew when he tried to intervene.
Wong, from Widnes, who appeared to be smirking in his police mugshot, admitted causing actual and grievous bodily harm at an earlier hearing at Manchester Crown Court and has now been jailed for 18 months.
He had fled the scene after the attack – jumping into a stranger’s car before asking them to get him away from the scene.
However, he was found after the couple saw appeals for information about an unrelated suspected murder at the festival on the same day and contacted police.
