A MAN who carried out a 'horrific' attack that left the victim with severe brain injuries has been jailed for seven years.
Liam McMahon, 20, of Southam Close, Coventry, was sentenced on Thursday at Warwick Crown Court.
He had been found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm at the same court in January.
"This was a brutal and horrific attack that left the victim with significant and permanent injuries," said Detective Constable Mike Brennan from Warwickshire Police CID.
On April 1, 2021, McMahon hit the victim — a man in his 20s — around the head with a vodka bottle in Park Road, Bedworth, Warwickshire.
Following the attack, the victim went home where he fell ill and contacted paramedics, who alerted police to his injuries.
Enquiries identified McMahon as a suspect and he was arrested the following day.
Warwickshire Police said the attack caused the victim serious brain injuries that left him unable to walk, or properly talk.
He requires around the clock care.
"I'm pleased to see McMahon convicted and handed a significant prison sentence," added DC Brennan.
