A man has been jailed for two and a half years and faces deportation to South Sudan for bashing a man at Footscray.
Ngor Akok was this month sentenced in the County Court after pleading guilty to recklessly causing serious injury and committing an indictable offence on bail.
Akok, 20, attacked the victim, 34, last September.
In his sentencing remarks, Judge Justin Hannebery said the victim suffered life-threatening injuries, was hospitalised for seven months and is now cared for by his mother.
“The victim in this matter was at a rotunda in Railway Reserve, Footscray, with one other person,” he said.
