THREE brothers have been sentenced to prison following a vicious assault on New Year’s Day. Sean Riley, Ethan Smith and Jason Smith were each handed a prison sentence of six years and 11 months after admitting causing grievous bodily harm at court yesterday. On January 1, 2021, the trio stopped a moving taxi on Dodds Close, in Wheatley Hill and dragged the victim, who was a passenger, from the vehicle into the street. They then repeatedly struck the victim with a weapon, causing a broken jaw and eye socket, then fled the scene leaving the victim laying in a pool of blood.
