THIS is the shocking moment two thugs punched and repeatedly kicked a punter in the head in a despicable late-night brawl.
Cops released blood-curdling CCTV footage of the moment the men launched the brutal attack on the victim last summer – leaving him with a bleed on his brain.

This week, Lulzim Sinimati, 27, and Fatos Kertolli, 36 were caged for 10 years respectively for the frenzied assault at around 3am at Bar 42, in Peterborough, on July 20.
Footage snapped Sinimati, wearing a black t-shirt and jeans, drinking with pals outside the bar before throwing hands at the victim who was inside.
The thug is then seen punching him in the face and the back of the head.
Staff desperately try to hold Sinimati back but he wriggles free and lands another vicious blow which floors the victim.
Kertolli is then seen kicking and stomping on the defenceless man as he lies injured on the floor.
The victim suffered a bleed on the brain as well as fractures on his face and spine, a jury heard.
A second individual suffered minor facial injuries.
Kertolli was jailed for five-and-a-half years, while Sinimati, seen smirking in his police mugshot, was sentenced to four-and-a-half years at Cambridgeshire Crown Court.
The duo were also slapped with 10-year restraining orders.
Both claimed they acted in self-defence, but both were found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) and affray in December.
“Both men claimed they acted in self-defence, however footage showed them viciously assaulting one victim in a sustained attack,” Detective Constable Dylan Lenton said.
“The injuries they caused were so severe, at one point it was thought the victim wouldn’t survive.
“He has since made a recovery, although effects of the trauma he suffered to his brain will stay with him forever.”
BAR HORROR
It comes after disgusting footage revealed a man hurling a fire bomb into the face of a reveller outside a bar.
The victim was seen falling to the ground and rolling around in a desperate bid to extinguish the flames.
Shocked passers-by rushed to his aid but were beaten back by the heat.
He eventually managed to pull his top off to put out the fire and staggered to his feet as the violent fracas continued inside Peggy Junes bar, in Redcar, North Yorkshire.
Three people were taken to hospital with serious, but not life-threatening injuries, after the incident just after 8pm on Saturday.
Cleveland Police said three people have been charged following the incident and will appear in court.
A 33-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated burglary, criminal damage and assaulting.
A 37-year-old man has been charged with assisting an offender and a 36-year-old woman has been charged with assisting an offender, possession of a blade in a public place and assault.
