Moment pub-goer knocked out with single punch outside Wetherspoons

Shocking CCTV footage showed the moment a man knocked someone out with a single punch outside a Wetherspoon pub. Andre Gustaffe, 33, was caught on camera casually drinking from his glass straight after hitting a man to the ground outside the London and Rye pub in Catford, London.

Gustaffe was sentenced to two years for assault causing grievous bodily harm at Woolwich Crown Court on Thursday, reports The Sun. The court heard how the victim struggled with information processing, planning and problem solving after the attack, which fractured his skull and caused a bleed and bruising on the brain.

The footage, taken on the night of England's Euros Final match against Spain last year, shows Gustaffe arguing with a man before he punches a victim with his right hand.

The prosecution said the victim and defendant did not know each other. He said the victim had accused Gustaffe of stealing his phone, but, annoyed at the accusation, Gustaffe then punched him in the face.

The court heard that the victim has been left with serious, lasting consequences, none of which had been an issue before the attack.

His lawyer said that following the attack, the victim got angry without cause, and they had to be prescribed antidepressants.

The victim also reportedly had to take time off work and was left unemployed because his employer had not been willing to wait.

The court heard on Tuesday (September 16) that Gustaffe has a range of previous convictions. Gustaffe's defence said that he used to care for his elderly grandmother and he had played an active role in his son's life.
