A man was punched unconscious outside The Stone Roses bar in Leeds city centre, before his friend was kicked and punched by the two teenage thugs.
A pre-sentence report into Rehman suggested he could not recall the events of the night, but claimed the two victims had made racist remarks to him and Hussain – a claim that was later rubbished by the judge.
Mitigating on his behalf, Peter Byrne said: “He has positive attributes, he is hard working and there is a willingness to better himself. He knows it’s serious offending but it is out of character.” Mitigating for Hussain, Laura Addy said: “He is under no illusion that he could go to prison. What is plain is that this incident and the choices he made have shown him that this is not the life he wants going forward. He made bad choices and finds himself here.”
She said that Hussain had “found school hard”, that his parents’ divorce had hit him hard and his brother had suffered severe health problems. She said he has since gained employment and added: “He wants to prove he is a positive member of society and wishes to pursue a trade of some description. He does not want to be in a court room again.”
