Brothers locked up after violent street attack

Brothers Jayreece Redmond, left, and Jushaun Redmond have been locked up.

Two brothers have been put behind bars after leaving a man with serious facial injuries following a street attack.

The victim was set upon by Jayreece and Jushaun Redmond after he intervened to stop an assault on a woman in Front Street, Arnold.

He was punched, stamped on and kicked in a sustained attack in the early hours of 3 February 2024.

The victim required surgery in hospital after suffering two broken cheekbones, a broken nose and a fractured jaw.

Detectives analysed CCTV footage to identify the offenders and the brothers were arrested.

Jayreece Redmond, aged 21, of High Street, Heanor, Derbyshire, and 18-year-old Jushaun Redmond, of Birchfield Road, Arnold, pleaded guilty to committing grievous bodily harm with intent.

The older brother also pleaded guilty to a separate assault on 9 December 2023.

At Nottingham Crown Court on Friday (20 December), Jayreece Redmond was jailed for a total of six years, while Jushaun Redmond was sent to a youth offenders’ institution for five years.

The victim told officers he had intervened after seeing Jushaun Redmond assaulting a woman outside a bar.

In the melee which followed both brothers repeatedly struck the victim before fleeing the scene.

Detective Sergeant Nathan Bingham, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“This was a sustained attack on a man who was trying to prevent a woman being hurt.

“The two brothers responded to his intervention by punching, kicking and stamping on the victim.

“He was left with significant injuries which still to this day have an impact on both his and his family’s lives.

“We won’t tolerate the sort of violent behaviour displayed by the two brothers.

“Officers worked hard to trace the offenders and build a watertight case against them.

“We believe a number of people will have witnessed this disorder so I hope they welcome our robust response and the sentences handed down.”
