THE leader of a group of men described as ‘a pack of vicious animals’ involved in a town centre attack has added another assault charge to his criminal record.

Callum Davies, of Lon Cefn Du in Caernarfon, appeared via video link at Mold Crown Court where he is currently serving a lengthy sentence for carrying out another set of attacks in April last year.

Davies confessed to the assault on January 3 – which was captured on CCTV and played for the court.

The video clip – played by the prosecution Dafydd Roberts – showed the moment that the 19-year-old headbutted his victim Ryan Jones before continuing to attack him as he fell to the floor.

Mr Roberts told the court how Davies was in the Caernarfon Maes at around 8pm with friends playing football when the ball hit a parked car.

His victim got out of the car as the driver approached Davies who was insisting that they go somewhere ‘without cameras’ to ‘sort it out’.

When he refused the threat, Davies launched a headbutt at Jones before landing a punch and kicking him once he had fallen to the ground. This is when a bigger brawl ensued.

Mr Roberts told the judge how a group of around eight other men with Davies were ‘egged on’ by him to join in on the attack.

As onlookers continued with their evening, it was off duty officer Clare Larkey-Jones who stepped in and stopped the fight in its tracks.

The judge was told by the prosecutor how Ms Larkey-Jones was able to “get between” the men who were fighting.

After the men were dispersed, Davies’ victim was taken to hospital for treatment after sustaining facial injuries.

James Coombes, the defence, acknowledged that this incident was nothing short of "unsightly antisocial behaviour".

He pleaded with the judge to consider an alternative punishment than extending his existing sentence – which will not see him get out of prison until he is in his early twenties.

Judge Nicola Jones passed a concurrent sentence of 12 months to run alongside Davies’ existing prison term.

She said: “You've been described as acting like a pack of vicious animals and that I can't disagree with.

“PC Larkey-Jones - with no thought for her own safety, clearly thinking only of restoring order and protecting Ryan Jones from further injury - intervened and pulled you off Ryan Jones.”

Judge Jones said that she believes, had PC Larkey-Jones not stepped in that night, then Jones would likely have received much more serious injuries.

As part of her sentence, the judge made Davies subject to a 10-year restraining order against Jones.

After passing her sentence, Judge Jones commended PC Larkey-Jones for her actions and told her she was going to write to the North Wales chief constable about her ‘incredible bravery’.
