Two men pushed a blind and deaf man on to a railway track in a horrific crime caught on CCTV.
Daniel Webster, 23, and Niall Martin, 24, shoved the man off the platform at Chelmsford railway station in February after getting into an altercation with him and his brother, who was also pushed on to the tracks.
The images showed the moment the unnamed 31-year-old fell helplessly at the station in Essex, in an incident that was described as disgraceful and dangerous by the judge at Chelmsford Crown Court.
Webster admitted actual bodily harm (ABH) and grievous bodily harm (GBH) against the two brothers and received 22 months in jail.
Martin pleaded guilty to ABH on the younger of the two, 28, and will serve nine months in prison.
‘This is exactly the sort of thing that terrifies members of the travelling public late at night,’ said Judge David Turner QC while delivering his verdict.
The elder brother now has a limp after spending a month and a half on crutches following the assault.
He was forced to take six months off work as a result of his injuries.
