Kirklees Magistrates have spared a 43 year old man a custodial sentence for his part in a racial attack at a children’s football match because of his work in the community countering terrorism.
The court was told that a coach of the one of the children’s sides was left needing surgery after being viciously attacked in a row over a late goal.
The referee, Haroon Adam, of Wharf Street, Dewsbury, was found guilty after a trial of racially- aggravated assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Adam’s brother, Idris Adam, 48-year-old also of Wharf Street and a coach, was also convicted of an offence of assault occasioning actual bodily harm for his part in the group attack.
Adam was sentenced to 26 weeks in jail, suspended for 18 months, and ordered to complete 240 hours of unpaid work. His brother got a 22-week suspended jail term and must serve 200 hours of unpaid work in the community. Both were ordered to pay £500 compensation to the victim, £482.50 prosecution costs and £80 victim surcharge.
