Four men have been jailed over an attack on a Sussex father outside a fast food outlet in Bexhill.

Alfie Peak was left with "catastrophic" brain damage after he was set upon on Sea Road, Bexhill on 27 July 2013 after a row inside the USA Fried Chicken takeaway spilled out on to the street.

Sussex men Steven Luck and John Panice received 14 years along with Thomas Unwin from Derbyshire, while Zack Dangerfield from Bexhil was sentenced to 13 years in prison. 

They were all found guilty of GBH with intent.
