Two men were sentenced today for affray after their former friend was chased down the street and struck with a chair leg.

Ali Hussain suffered a cut to the back of his head after the disturbance in Grantham Place, Great Horton, Bradford, on August 3 last year.

In the dock at Bradford Crown Court today were Hoshan Kawani, 29, of Dirkhill Street, Great Horton, and Hoshmand Kawani, 35, of Whetley Close, Girlington, Bradford.

Both admitted affray, although Hoshmand joined in at the end and did not cause the head injury.

Prosecutor Patrick Palmer said a witness saw a man being chased by an assailant with a chair leg.

Hoshmand Kawani, who had no previous convictions, was conditionally discharged for 12 months.

Hoshnan Kawani was sentenced to a 12-month community order with 100 hours of unpaid work.

Judge Jonathan Durham Hall QC said both of the men had acted out of character and there had been no further trouble.
