A VIOLENT thug hit a man five times with a metal dog lead in a park in front of families and young children.
Denny Corp carried out the vicious attack in Kent View Recreation Ground in Basildon after an argument between two families over their children’s behaviour.
On September 6 last year, the argument erupted after a young boy allegedly threw a rock at Corp’s victim’s daughter.
“Unpleasant” threats were made with Corp and another man claiming they “knew where the family lived” and that they would kill them.
Corp, 39, of Kent View Road, Basildon, and his friend were then told two days later that the man was walking his dog with his partner and daughter in the park.
