A MAN who stamped on the head of two of his victims during a brawl outside a Southampton city centre bar has been jailed.

Alexander Donaldson, 22, fractured one of the men’s cheek bones during the fight near to Revolution in Bedford Place.

Another victim, who was on crutches at the time, was pushed to the floor by one of Donaldson’s group and knocked out – leaving him needing hospital treatment.

At Southampton Crown Court, Donaldson, who was the only one arrested for the incident, was jailed for four years.

The court heard how the incident began inside the bar on September 16, 2018, while victim Bradley Isaacs was out with his friends.

Prosecutor Tim Moores said Mr Isaacs’ girlfriend noticed Donaldson winking at her and told him to stop.

A friend of Mr Isaacs, Chris Jakes, who was on crutches due to a broken leg, then went to speak to Donaldson, who pushed him over.

Mr Isaacs and Mr Jakes were ejected from the bar by bouncers and were soon joined outside by friend Adam Fletcher.

As the three sat outside, near to Sainsbury’s, Donaldson and his group were also ejected and Donaldson then punched Mr Fletcher, sparking the brawl.

Mr Moores said: “Donaldson sees Mr Fletcher, approaches him and punches him.

“Things then move into the road and then across the road.

“A member of Donaldson’s group then pushes Mr Jakes to the ground. Donaldson then stamps on Mr Jakes’ head as he goes across him.”

Mr Moores said Donaldson then punches Mr Fletcher and both go to the floor.

“Donaldson manages to get up first and he then stamps on his head twice, suffering a fractured cheek bone,” he added.

Mr Moores said during the fight Mr Jakes was knocked unconscious following a push from one of Donaldson’s friends and was taken to hospital, while Mr Isaacs, who was also knocked unconscious, suffered facial swellings and abrasions to his head.

Donaldson was arrested in January this year following an investigation by police.

He pleaded guilty to one count of causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent, one count of affray and one count of attempted GBH.

Mitigating for Donaldson, Sean Smith said his client had consumed alcohol and taken cocaine on the night and this had likely interfered with Donaldson’s medication for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Judge Gary Burrell QC jailed Donaldson, of Pine Close, Kingswinford, West Midlands, for four years.

He said: “You are a young man who I accept is remorseful about what happened but these are very serious offences which have had a profound effect on the victims.”
