...for Man who left the victim in pool of his own blood after brutal attack A man who brutally assaulted another man by punching him and stamping on his head before fleeing the scene and leaving him in a pool of his own blood has been jailed. Brad Spencer inflicted horrific injuries on his victim after an argument turned physical in Stocksbridge, Sheffield, on the morning of 10 January 2023.
