A pair of identical twins both battered a fellow bar customer who was bitten in the face and thrown into the road after they branded him a “nuisance” for pestering girls in their group.
The victim was left with a bite mark near his eye, a perforated eardrum and bruising and swelling around his head following the attack outside Be At One, Putney High Street.
Head chef Frazer Wood, 28, and his brother Christopher Wood, 28, both of Hayward Gardens, Putney were thrown out of the trendy venue (pictured) with the victim just after midnight on September 4, last year.
Frazer pleaded guilty at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court to assaulting Brendan Perivolaris, causing him actual bodily harm, and Christopher admitted the lesser charge of common assault.
Prosecutor Miss Jennifer Newcomb told the court the brothers became “angry” in the bar and were ejected along with Mr. Perivolaris, who they were arguing with.
“Outside the victim was punched to the back of the head and a fight ensued and he does remember being bitten in the face.”
Neither twin took responsibility for inflicting the bite.
“They were clearly the aggressors and were seen both punching the victim,” added Miss Newcomb.
“Frazer was pulled away twice, but returned to the victim and punched him in the face with a clenched fist.
“He was pulled away again, but returned, flinging Mr. Perivolaris into the main road, landing face first.”
Frazer was arrested on the spot when police arrived and Christopher arrested a month later.
The first-time offenders claim they were initially acting in self-defence, but admit this became excessive.
The Wood’s accuse the victim of being a “nuisance” in another local bar towards girls in their group hours earlier and continuing the behaviour in Be At One.
Judge Nicholas Jones told the twins: “You have both lost your good character.
“You and another man were evicted in the late evening early hours of a Saturday night in an incident that involved some degree of provocation.
“You went over the top and used excessive force and this was aggravated by the two of you being involved.”
Frazer was sentenced to a twelve-month community order with 180 hours community service and was ordered to pay £150 compensation to the victim.
Christopher was fined £350 and also ordered to pay £150 compensation.
