A Longfield teenager who head-butted and punched two victims in an unprovoked attack has been jailed for two years.

Jordan Copper, 19, was walking with a group of friends when he decided to pick a fight with a man in his 20s at just gone midnight on the night of August 17 last year in Mount Pleasant Road, Tunbridge Wells.

Copper, of Main Road, Longfield, head-butted him in the face before attacking a friend of the victim, who had been trying to escort him to a nearby taxi.

This man, also in his 20s, was repeatedly punched in the face and left with injuries including a depressed eye socket and a fractured cheek bone.

Copper was arrested in Mount Pleasant Road shortly after. He refused to comment during a police interview he was later charged.

At Maidstone Crown Court on September 8 Copper was sentenced to two years in a young offenders’ institution.

He had previously pleaded guilty to one count of inflicting grievous bodily harm and a further count of occasioning actual bodily harm.

Detective Constable Trudy Miller said: "This was an entirely unprovoked and ferocious assault on two people who were minding their own business and who had tried to walk away from trouble.

“Copper’s actions have left one of his victims with permanent scarring as well as constant discomfort, pain and numbness to his face.

“This sentence will hopefully make him realise the consequences of his violent actions.”
