Pontefract man fractured his ex's boyfriend's skull in attack after night out Leeds Crown Court told

Brett Edwards had chased his "petrified" victim over the Jubilee Way dual carriageway to a car park near the Central Methodist Church.

The court heard the man jumped over a 20 to 25ft high wall in an attempt to escape Edwards and suffered a broken leg and kneecap.

Edwards, 24, found the defenceless man and punched him in the face and kicked him in the head on Wakefield Road.

Edwards, of Mill Hill Lane, Pontefract, was jailed for six years and nine months after admitting causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

David Hall, prosecuting, said Edwards was in a relationship with a woman for a month and when it ended due to his anger issues she quickly went back to her ex-boyfriend.

Edwards had threatened the man weeks before the attack in Pontefract on July 29, 2018.
