CCTV footage shows the moment a burly thug launched a sickening attack on a pensioner in a pub - then encouraged his dad to join in.

Douglas Joyce, 35, left the 78-year-old victim bloodied and bruised after punching him three times to the face and head during a row.

Joyce, wearing a black baseball cap and a Givenchy tracksuit top, followed the victim into the back room of the pub on Thomas Street in the Northern Quarter and began shouting and pointing at him, before punching him in the face and knocking him off his seat.

The thug continued to stand over the pensioner while gesticulating aggressively, before urging his dad John Joyce to join in the attack.
