Two brothers who armed themselves ‘with a stick’ and attacked a man after a stone was thrown at their car have been spared jail.<\/p>\n

Decklan, 27, and Cameron Davenport, 21, were driving to their parent’s house in Sale<\/a> on October 27, 2023 when a confrontation with a cyclist turned violent.<\/p>\n

Minshull Street Crown Court heard the man on the bicycle ‘made remarks’ and hurled a stone at their vehicle, causing damage.<\/p>\n

Prosecuting, John Richards said the pair followed the man to Kingston Close in Sale \u2013 a dead-end street \u2013 and confronted him.<\/p>\n

The cyclist, who did not provide a statement, emerged with a baseball bat and was seen swinging it towards the car, the court heard. The brothers then got out and struck him with a stick, leaving him with a 10cm head wound that required hospital treatment.<\/p>\n

Judge Maurice Greene said CCTV footage of the clash showed the victim was also ‘looking for trouble’, but told both Decklan and Cameron Davenport they had behaved in a ‘thuggish’ way.<\/p>\n

The court heard Decklan also drove the car ‘pretty much at’ the victim. Judge Green warned: “It could have ended up with very serious charges.”<\/p>\n

Defending, Ellen Shaw said there had been ‘some provocation’ before the incident, but the pair had ‘taken it too far’.<\/p>\n

Shaw said: “On a different day they may well have acted more appropriately.”<\/p>\n

Judge Greene told the defendants that driving away would have been the ‘sensible thing to do’, adding: “Had there not been CCTV they would not be here.”<\/p>\n
