A Leicestershire man has been sentenced to 100 hours of unpaid work for assaulting a woman and leaving her injured. Brett Mackness, of Blackthorn Road, in Glenfield, was handed the sentence
at Leicester Magistrates' Court on Wednesday (May 14). Court documents state that the assault took place in Leicester on Saturday, April 22, 2023. Mackness, 51, had denied a charge of
causing actual bodily harm, but was found guilty by magistrates following a trial in March. At his sentencing, magistrates ordered Mackness to complete the unpaid work within 12 months. He
was also ordered to pay £250 compensation to the victim of the assault. READ MORE: Bomb squad scrambled after 'suspicious item' found in crashed car The assault, which was
