A man from Bradford who used his car as a weapon to carry out a revenge attack has been jailed for more than seven years.

Shamrez Razaq had earlier been at a mosque with the victim on the day he deliberately drove into him and another man, hitting one man on the side of his body and throwing the other – the intended target – onto the bonnet of his Audi Q3.

Bradford Crown Court heard how the victim then got up and ran off but was pursued by Razaq in the car, which cornered him in a cul-de-sac at Firethorn Close, Girlington.

Footage from CCTV cameras screened in court showed Razaq, 28, of Fairbank Road, of Toller Lane, Bradford, repeatedly driving into the man and knocking him to the ground.

Razaq was then seen to kick and punch the victim assisted by other men who had been in the car. As he left, he said, “Remember me, don’t you?”

The victim was fortunate to escape with just a fracture to his left ankle.

The attack was said to be in revenge for violence allegedly carried out by the victim towards one of Razaq’s relatives.

Sentencing Razaq, who pleaded guilty on the first day of trial to grievous bodily harm with intent, dangerous driving, and assault by actual bodily harm, His Honour Judge Ahmed Nadim rejected a suggestion that the incident was “opportunistic” and a “heat of the moment unplanned attack”.

He said one man had been injured by being in “the wrong place at the wrong time” whilst the intended target was chased through the streets in a “reckless” manner before culminating in what he described as “a revenge attack”.

Judge Nadim said: “Having deliberately driven your 4x4 vehicle and used it as a weapon upon [the victim] you decided with your accomplices, who numbered at least four, to pursue him.

“Thereafter you repeatedly drove your vehicle at him intending to cause him more harm than in fact you thought he had suffered by now.

“And if that wasn’t enough, you exited your vehicle and together with your accomplices kicked and punched the victim whilst he was on the ground.”

He added: “Your parting comment was designed to instil fear upon him: that you would return.”

He sentenced Razaq to seven years and two months imprisonment for GBH plus 19 months for ABH, to be served concurrently, and a further 18 months for dangerous driving, also to be served concurrently.

He banned him from driving for seven-and-a-half years.

Razaq will serve two-thirds of his sentence before being released on licence.
