A nightclub thug, who twice flunked his court-ordered community service, was jailed for two months today for violently hitting his victim over the head with a belt and intimidating him with a broken bottle.
Halmat Reza, 20, of The Broadway, Wealdstone claimed migraines caused by three metal plates in his skull prevented him from doing the work, but this was dismissed by a judge.
“I am satisfied you are just not prepared to do this work,” Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court Judge Paul Dodgson told Reza. “You were given one final chance, but did nothing.”
Reza pleaded guilty to threatening behaviour outside the Oceana Nightclub, Kingston-upon-Thames (pictured) on February 10 and was originally sentenced to a community order with 80 hours community service work.
The court heard police were called to a fight and CCTV evidence later showed Reza approaching another young man from behind and striking him over the back of the head with his belt.
He also picked up a bottle, smashed it, and used the weapon to intimidate the victim after the group moved to a nearby car park.
Reza dropped the broken bottle when police arrived, telling them there had been a “bad feeling” in the nightclub and he feared the victim was calling for back-up.
The defendant has only completed six-and-a-half hours of the order, claiming a head injury caused by a violent hammer-attack four years ago restricted his ability to work.
“You have decided to just not bother and the time has come for you to go to prison,” Judge Dodgson told Reza.
