James Burnham gathered a gang of 15 and set upon a man with a prosthetic leg who they mistakenly thought had stolen a car in Hull
A thug has been jailed for his part in a "mob handed" attack which saw 15 men surround a disabled man's car and beat him in a case of mistaken identify.
James Burnham gathered a gang of 15 and set upon a man with a prosthetic leg who was behind the wheel of a VW Golf.
Burnham, 21, believed the car to have been stolen from his then employer A & R Motors and dragged the victim from the vehicle, Hull Live reports.
The victim was driving along in east Hull at 9.30pm on April 4, when he was surrounded by Burnham and others in their cars.
The defendant then got out of his car and began punching through the driver side window of the Golf, hitting the victim in the process.
After Burnham landed the first blow, the rest of the gang joined the frenzied rage, punching and kicking him and pulling him out of the car before other members of the group sped away with it, stealing his £800 iPhone which was left inside.

Prosecuting, Stephen Robinson told Hull Crown Court the victim, who had a prosthetic left leg after being treated for bone cancer, had his limb detached during the onslaught.
"The complainant was driving his own vehicle down Durham Street that was similar to the one that had been stolen from the defendant's employer and it was a case of mistaken identity by the defendant," he said.
"Mr Burnham's actions were designed to return the vehicle to the rightful owner, but he got the wrong car."
The court heard the victim suffered swelling and bleeding to his face, ears and head after the attack and was terrified by the ordeal.
Burnham, of Hull, was traced to his address by police and admitted his involvement in the crime.
He told officers he had "f***ed up" and gave them the key's to the victims car and told them of its location in his employer's garage, where it was recovered.
He realised the wrong car had been taken when he moved it off the street and parked it up at his employer's.
But in "panic" did not inform the authorities and subsequent to his arrest and court case, still refuses to name the others responsible for the attack so that they can be brought to justice.
In a victim impact statement read in court, the victim said: "This was a totally unprovoked attack that left me scared and shaken up.
"There are documents with my details in the car that identify me and I'm frightened that these people will come to my house and attack me again.

"I've had to sell my car as a result of what happened to me".
Defending Burham, Francis Dunning said he gave his "most profound apologies to [the victim]" and Burnham was a young man with a good work record, good work ethic and no previous convictions, who was motivated purely by returning what he thought was a stolen car to its owner.
"He admitted his part immediately to the police and told them what he had done but is not prepared to name the others involved as he feels what happened is down to him and he does not want to get others into trouble, which is naive in my view as it is clear that there was someone else there that subjected the victim to more violence than the defendant did.
"The victim was vulnerable due to his disability, but the defendant would not have known this beforehand. He struck the first blow and was wanting the man to be taken out of the car, but what happened thereafter was done as part of a group."
Despite Mr Dunning urging Judge John Thackray QC to keep Burham out of prison so he could continue working and pay the victim compensation, the judge sentenced him to eight months behind bars.
Judge Thackray said: "You are 21 years old and you have pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The violence involved was mob handed and it went way beyond a single blow through the car window.
"You have declined to give evidence to help identify the others involved and you played a lead role, but I take on board that you have no previous convictions.
"In essence, this was an appalling, unprovoked and sustained attack by a group of men that were taking the law into their own hands.
"The injuries that the victim sustained were bad and the attack must have been terrifying for him, with his victim impact statement showing that the attack had a profound impact on him, leaving him scared, shaken up and fearing another attack.
"It is difficult to accept that you are remorseful when you made no attempt to apologise to the victim or contact the police when you realised that you had made a mistake, and you still refuse to name the other males involved.

thedailymirror--2020-01-13--Dad told he would be dead by 35 is saved - then his fiancee dies hours before wedding

A dad told he would be dead by the time he was 35 was saved by a heart transplant - only to lose his soulmate just hours before their wedding .
Sam Rudland was diagnosed with Friedreich ’ s Ataxia when he was 18 after struggling with balance and coordination for years .
The condition caused his heart muscle to thicken and he was told it was unlikely he would live past 35 and that a transplant was not possible .
Sam had to deal with slurred speech , increased weakness in the legs , vision loss and diabetes .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ was in his his late 20s and he started taking medication for his inflammed heart muscle .
He then started suffering from abnormal heart rhythms in his early 30s and doctors told him about his short life expectancy .
But when he met psychologist Amy Watts on a dating app in 2012 he knew he wanted to start a family with her .
Sam said : `` We spoke for about three weeks then had our first date at an Italian restaurant .
`` We had the same sense of humour , outlook @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both really wanted a family and wouldn ’ t let my condition stop us .
`` I explained that I might not always be there but remained optimistic about the future .
I think that rubbed off on Amy . ''
He moved from Cardiff to Bristol and they bought a house together .
The year after they met , Amy and Sam welcomed their daughter , Esmee , and theur life seemed complete - apart from his ongoing health problems , which they battled as a family .
Sam said : `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really happy . ''
He then proposed over a candlelit dinner at their home at the end of 2014 , but his Ataxia worsened and the couple were worried about setting any firm wedding plans .
He said : `` My heart rate would get to 140bpm , rather than the normal 60 to 100bpm , so I ’ d regularly end up in hospital .
`` I had five cardioversions , where an electric shock delivered from a defibrillator is used to restore the heart ’ s rhythm to normal .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ procedures where surgeons burn away areas of the heart to destroy the tissue allowing incorrect electrical signals to cause the abnormal heart rhythms .
Sadly , they didn ’ t work .
`` In November 2015 , I was fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator ( ICD ) , which uses an electrical signal to regulate my heartbeat .
`` Amy often drove me to hospital , then paced the corridors while the doctors fixed me up .
`` She did this all while trying to keep things as normal as possible for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sam 's side during his countless hospital appointments and against all the odd , his condition started to improve .
But then the couple were left devastated when Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer in February , 2016 .
Sam said : `` Amy was an incredible mum to Esmee , who is the most precious , amazing little girl .
`` It is a very cruel twist of fate that she so badly wanted to be a mum , then had it snatched away .
`` We probably had two good years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They were as close to perfect as you could expect .
`` Esmee has wonderful memories of Amy , but I worry they ’ ll fade .
She ’ s come so close to losing both parents , it doesn ’ t bear thinking about . ''
Despite being desperately ill Sam , who has a son , Tobias , from a previous relationship , refused to give in .
Sam , who uses a wheelchair outside his house , said : `` I knew what came with having the condition - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me . ''
With everyone focussed on Sam ’ s health , Amy was shocked to discover a small lump in her right breast while showering towards the end of 2016 .
Sent for tests she was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2016 aged just 39 and when Esmee was just two .
By the time Amy had found the lump , the cancer had already spread to her lymph nodes .
Sam said : `` We were totally shocked – but convinced the treatment would work .
We even discussed having @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' In November that year Amy had her right breast removed , followed by a three-week round of chemotherapy , then radiotherapy a month later .
Then , in March 2017 , Sam was hospitalised with intense swelling of his feet , fluid retention and dangerously low blood pressure – all linked to his heart .
He said : `` I kept fearing I ’ d die , Amy ’ s cancer wouldn ’ t get sorted out and Esmee would lose both her parents . ''
Constantly in and out of hospital @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doctors if they would reconsider a transplant .
Fortunately , his results from a five-week assessment at Cambridge ’ s Royal Papworth Hospital , combined with the fact he had exceeded his life expectancy , made him eligible – leading to a successful six-hour heart transplant operation in May 2017 .
In hospital for three weeks , he said : `` Afterwards my neurologist told me that no-one with Freidreich ’ s Ataxia has had a heart transplant in this country before .
`` They actually took my old heart off to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ November 2017 , rushed to hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest , it took 10 minutes of CPR to stabilise Sam and - fearing his body was rejecting the donor organ - a balloon was fitted in his heart to prevent valve blockages .
He was also hooked up to an extra corporeal membrane oxygenation ( ECMO ) machine , to deliver oxygen to his blood .
Sam said : `` The ECMO saved my life , but it damaged the femoral artery in my right leg , which started bleeding internally , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ body tissue - in my skin . ''

Sam Rudland had battled health problems all his life but he thought he'd found his happy ending when he met Amy Watt and was given a transplant - but then heartbreaking tragedy struck
Dad told he would be dead by 35 is saved - then his fiancee dies hours before wedding
A dad told he would be dead by the time he was 35 was saved by a heart transplant - only to lose his soulmate just hours before their wedding.
Sam Rudland was diagnosed with Friedreich’s Ataxia when he was 18 after struggling with balance and coordination for years.
The condition caused his heart muscle to thicken and he was told it was unlikely he would live past 35 and that a transplant was not possible.
Sam had to deal with slurred speech, increased weakness in the legs, vision loss and diabetes.
But his real problems start when he was in his his late 20s and he started taking medication for his inflammed heart muscle.

He then started suffering from abnormal heart rhythms in his early 30s and doctors told him about his short life expectancy.
But when he met psychologist Amy Watts on a dating app in 2012 he knew he wanted to start a family with her.
Sam said: "We spoke for about three weeks then had our first date at an Italian restaurant.
"We had the same sense of humour, outlook on life, and values. We both really wanted a family and wouldn’t let my condition stop us.
"I explained that I might not always be there but remained optimistic about the future. I think that rubbed off on Amy."
Image: PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT) PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT)
He moved from Cardiff to Bristol and they bought a house together.
The year after they met, Amy and Sam welcomed their daughter, Esmee, and theur life seemed complete - apart from his ongoing health problems, which they battled as a family.
Sam said: "Despite my heart problems, we were really happy."
He then proposed over a candlelit dinner at their home at the end of 2014, but his Ataxia worsened and the couple were worried about setting any firm wedding plans.
He said: "My heart rate would get to 140bpm, rather than the normal 60 to 100bpm, so I’d regularly end up in hospital.
Image: PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT) PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT)
"I had five cardioversions, where an electric shock delivered from a defibrillator is used to restore the heart’s rhythm to normal.
"I also had two cardiac ablations – procedures where surgeons burn away areas of the heart to destroy the tissue allowing incorrect electrical signals to cause the abnormal heart rhythms. Sadly, they didn’t work.
"In November 2015, I was fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), which uses an electrical signal to regulate my heartbeat.
"Amy often drove me to hospital, then paced the corridors while the doctors fixed me up.
"She did this all while trying to keep things as normal as possible for Esmee."
Image: PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT) PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT)
Amy was always by Sam's side during his countless hospital appointments and against all the odd, his condition started to improve.
But then the couple were left devastated when Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer in February, 2016.
Sam said: "Amy was an incredible mum to Esmee, who is the most precious, amazing little girl.
"It is a very cruel twist of fate that she so badly wanted to be a mum, then had it snatched away.
"We probably had two good years together which weren't plagued by illness. They were as close to perfect as you could expect.
Image: PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT) PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT)
"Esmee has wonderful memories of Amy, but I worry they’ll fade. She’s come so close to losing both parents, it doesn’t bear thinking about."
Despite being desperately ill Sam, who has a son, Tobias, from a previous relationship, refused to give in.
Sam, who uses a wheelchair outside his house, said: "I knew what came with having the condition - but never thought it would happen to me."
With everyone focussed on Sam’s health, Amy was shocked to discover a small lump in her right breast while showering towards the end of 2016.
Sent for tests she was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2016 aged just 39 and when Esmee was just two.
Image: PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT) PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT)
By the time Amy had found the lump, the cancer had already spread to her lymph nodes.
Sam said: "We were totally shocked – but convinced the treatment would work. We even discussed having another child when she was better.”"
In November that year Amy had her right breast removed, followed by a three-week round of chemotherapy, then radiotherapy a month later.
Then, in March 2017, Sam was hospitalised with intense swelling of his feet, fluid retention and dangerously low blood pressure – all linked to his heart.
He said: "I kept fearing I’d die, Amy’s cancer wouldn’t get sorted out and Esmee would lose both her parents."
Image: PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT) PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT)
Constantly in and out of hospital, Sam, then 39, asked doctors if they would reconsider a transplant.
Fortunately, his results from a five-week assessment at Cambridge’s Royal Papworth Hospital, combined with the fact he had exceeded his life expectancy, made him eligible – leading to a successful six-hour heart transplant operation in May 2017.
In hospital for three weeks, he said: "Afterwards my neurologist told me that no-one with Freidreich’s Ataxia has had a heart transplant in this country before.
"They actually took my old heart off to do some tests on it.”
But in November 2017, rushed to hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest, it took 10 minutes of CPR to stabilise Sam and - fearing his body was rejecting the donor organ - a balloon was fitted in his heart to prevent valve blockages.
Image: PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT) PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT)
He was also hooked up to an extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine, to deliver oxygen to his blood.
Sam said: "The ECMO saved my life, but it damaged the femoral artery in my right leg, which started bleeding internally, causing necrosis - or the death of body tissue - in my skin."
Hospitalised over Christmas he was left with a hole in his leg, which he could still lose if a blood clot develops.
Sam said: "I spent Christmas attached to machines keeping me alive, but despite all she was going through, Amy was always there in person - or on the phone.
"Things were feeling bleak for me at the time, and she really lifted my spirits and gave me hope.
Image: PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT) PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT)
"It was the worst time of year to be in hospital – Christmas Day. Amy came all that way so I could we with Esmee.
"She was so small at the time we got the nurses to put wrapping around the cannulas and scary things like that."
Sam was finally allowed home in January, 2018, and his health started to improve.
But then the couple were given the devastating news that Amy's cancer had spread to her bones and she went back to chemo every three weeks for a year.
Heartbreakingly, in January 2019, Amy treatment had to be stopped as her white blood cell count was dangerously low, putting her at risk of infection.
Image: PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT) PA REAL LIFE/COLLECT)
Further tests showed the cancer had spread to her liver, where she had a rapidly growing tumour the "size of a small child's head".
In February, Amy’s cancer became terminal.
Preferring not to know how long she had left, the couple hoped for at least six months and planned their wedding for the end of April.
Sam said: "It was devastating.
"Amy had been given a death sentence, while I had been given a chance with my new heart.
"She was so upset thinking she wouldn’t see Esmee grow up, graduate and get married. That was all she wanted.
"She wanted to have the same last name as Esmee, so we planned our wedding for the end of April.

"Amy sat down and explained Mummy was poorly and while Esmee knew something was wrong, we didn’t push the fact – we wanted their time together to be unspoilt."
They were determined to make their wedding day extra special – particularly for Esmee, who was to be their bridesmaid.
Sam said: "Amy bought her wedding dress and we booked a boutique hotel near Bristol for the ceremony.
"A photographer offered to work for free because of our situation and, not wanting a traditional wedding cake, Amy ordered 60 slabs of fudge.”
Towards the end of March 2019, in considerable pain, Amy asked to be taken to St Peter’s Hospice in Bristol.

"But her liver was pressing against her stomach and diaphragm, causing pain and breathing problems.
"Luckily St Peter’s is an amazing place and Esmee was able to see her mum every day before being looked after by her grandparents.” "
Terrified he would lose her, Sam cancelled their planned wedding, instead booking a registrar to marry them in the hospice the following week, on April 3.
He said: "We had room for 10 guests and the hospice cafe was going to do some food.
"Esmee’s whole outfit had been picked and chosen. I never got to see it but I know she had the whole kit – pretty dress and tiara."

"I slept that night in the armchair in her room. The following morning, she would not respond to anything.
"I sat there holding her hand and, over the course of an hour and a half, her breathing just slowed down and stopped.
"She didn’t seem in pain and it was very peaceful at the end."
Sam then had to tell his and Amy's young daughter, Esmee, that her mummy had gone.
He said: "I had to break Esmee’s heart by telling her that her mum was dead.

It is not known what time the family plan to meet, how long the summit is expected to last or whether the entire day has been set aside to find a solution.

Before the meeting, the royals will be given written proposals produced by their offices and others, including relevant government departments from the UK and Canada, where it is thought Harry and Meghan will establish a second home.
It is not known who else, if anyone, will be at the meeting - but it is likely the private secretaries of the four royals may join part of the talks to assist with any questions.
On Thursday, the Queen, Charles and William gave orders for their households to work with the Sussexes' team to quickly find a "workable solution" to their desire to change the direction of their royal lives, but still support the Queen.
A royal source said "next steps" will be agreed at the meeting, adding that it is the Queen's wish that the issue is resolved "at pace".
Some at Buckingham Palace are reported to fear that Harry and Meghan could conduct a potentially damaging television interview if they do not get what they want.
In an article for The Sunday Times, broadcaster Tom Bradby - a friend of both Harry and William - said: "I have some idea of what might be aired in a full, no-holds-barred, sit-down interview and I don't think it would be pretty."
* Mirror Online initially ran a story covering the report in The Times alleging bullying and contacted Kensington Palace about the claims. In light of the statement now released by William and Harry, we have removed our previous version of the story.
