POLICE are appealing for help in identifying a man involved in a violent attack in Uxbridge that left another with life-threatening head injuries.

The victim, a 34-year-old man, was in a coma for 17 days after he suffered a skull fracture and a bleed on the brain.

CCTV footage of the attack shows a man kicking and stamping on his head several times.

The victim is now out of hospital but has had to learn to walk again and is still suffering physically and psychologically from the attack.

The assault was near a pub in Uxbridge High Street shortly after 3am on Saturday, August 17, last year.

The main aggressor was quickly identified as Jay Fletcher, 28, from Feltham.

He was sentenced on Tuesday at Isleworth Crown Court to 12 years after he was found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm.

The judge ordered he must serve at least eight years of his sentence.

A second man, who held the victim’s head so Fletcher could kick it, has yet to be identified.

Det Con Oliver Mallett said: “Justice will not be fully achieved in this case unless we can arrest and prosecute both people involved in the attack.”
