Two men, Ellis Bradley Price, 26, of Pennine Road, Prenton, sand Jordan Nathanial Hawkins, 27, of Autumn Grove, Rock Ferry pleaded guilty to affray and were sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday, December 18.
Price was jailed for 18 months while Hawkins received a nine month sentence. A further two people also pleaded guilty to affray and received suspended sentences for their involvement.
Detective Constable Joseph Dutton who led the investigation said: “This was a violent incident where a woman was punched and knocked unconscious – thankfully she wasn’t seriously hurt.
