A man who stomped on his friend’s head and continued to kick him while he lay unconscious on a packed Luas has been jailed for a year.

The court heard that witnesses saw Gareth Duffy, aged 44, being struck in the face by a makeshift weapon by the victim before Duffy managed to get the upper hand and knock his friend to the ground. CCTV footage shown to the court showed all the passengers leaving the tram when Duffy can be seen repeatedly stomping on the man’s head while he lay on the floor.
