Man jailed for violent attack in Kirkcaldy car park

Daryll Brown, also known as Henderson, currently a prisoner at Perth, appeared from custody at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court.

He admitted that on November 25, at Rosslyn Street, Kirkcaldy, whilst acting with others, he assaulted a man by repeatedly punching and kicking him on the head and body, pulling him to the ground.

The 32-year old then pursued the man causing him to fall to the ground and stamped on his head, all to his injury.

The court was shown CCTV of the incident which took place at just after 5:00pm. Depute fiscal Alistair McDermott said the victim was sitting in a car when another vehicle arrived. People got out and began attacking the man. The video showed the victim initially fighting with one man before others joined in against him.

Brown then arrived in another vehicle and was seen joining in the assault with the man being punched and kicked, suffering a cut to his eye.

Defence solicitor Dewar Spence said there was “very little” he could say about why his client had become involved.

Sheriff James Williamson noted that Brown has a previous conviction for assaulting someone with a brick. He jailed him for 20 months.
