Brothers who fractured a man's eye socket when they assaulted him on a night out have received suspended youth detention.

Bristol Crown Court heard Jamie Hulcoop came to blows with Matthew Puchowski at the O2 Academy in Frogmore Street.

When Hulcoop and his older brother Jack saw Mr Puchowski in the street, trouble continued and Jack kicked him twice on the ground.

Jamie Hulcoop, 18, of Wells Road, Knowle, and his brother Jack, 20, of Allison Road, Brislington, admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm in June last year.

Judge Micheal Longman handed Jamie 36 weeks custody, suspended for two years, and Jack 52 weeks, suspended for two years, as well as 100 hours' unpaid work and a three-month curfew in which he must stay at home from 8pm to 5.30am.

College student Jamie was ordered to pay £250 compensation and Jack, who is working, was ordered to pay £1,000 compensation.

The judge told them: "The behaviour of both of you was entirely out of character.

"It's quite plain, apart from your behaviour that night, that you've been brought up with standards you completely failed to achieve on this occasion."

Julian Howells, prosecuting, said Mr Puchowski was out with friends when pal Dan Cowley was barged by one of two men and a "nasty" incident ensued in which punches were swung.

Mr Howells said: "Parties left via the side door and they left separately. Mr Puchowski and his friend went up some stairs towards Park Street and they came across the same two males who caused trouble in the club."

The court heard Mr Puchowski recalled being pushed and punched, going to the ground and receiving a "huge blow". When police arrived at the scene and tried to help the downed man, an officer saw Jack Hulcoop run up to him and stamp him on his stomach and face.

Mr Puchowski suffered a fractured left eye socket and displaced fracture of the left cheek, was operated on and stayed in hospital overnight.

Jamie Hulcoop told police he had been hit to the floor by two men in the night club, he saw the same two outside and punched one three times in the face.

Jack Hulcoop told police all of them had been ejected from the club and accepted stamping a man no more than twice.

Jonathan Stanniland, defending Jamie Hulcoop, said his remorseful client conceded he had a hot temper when provoked and there had been a degree of provocation that he ought to have been able to resist.

Giles Nelson, defending Jack Hulcoop, said his client was also remorseful and a "rush of blood to the head" caused him to inflict two stamps to the victim's upper body on the ground.
