FOUR HAYES men involved in a late-night dust-up, in which one man was wounded, have been given community sentences.

The fracas happened in the early hours of 16 August 2008, outside Euro Wines in Uxbridge Road, Hayes. Tempers flared following a booze-fuelled stand off between a large group of white youths and Asian men who were socialising at the off licence.

Isleworth Crown Court heard how Inderaj Bhachu, 25, of Wyatt Close, and Jasvir Singh, 29, of Cleave Avenue - who works at the off licence - were the aggressors in a fight with brothers Jack, 18, and Lee Albon, 22, both of Normandy Drive.

The younger of the two brothers was with a large group, and was said to have entered the shop with a friend just after 2am.

His requests for alcohol and cigarettes were rebuffed. Heated words were exchanged and it was said that the men in the shop become "hostile and aggressive". Things quickly escalated, and the dispute spilled out into the street.

Lee Albon, who arrived at the scene with his mother and girlfriend after being called by his younger brother, told police in interview that he went there for a fight and intended to do more than "give [Singh] a shiner."

The mother, who tried to pull her sons away, was herself hit in the ensuing melee, and Jack Albon could be seen in the footage kicking the door off its hinges in retaliation before the police arrived.

Prosecutor Mr Colin Banham said: "There was extensive damage. The white males stormed the shop and started throwing items. The till was thrown across the shop and bottles were flying everywhere."

At one point, Jack Albon armed himself with a champagne bottle, and Singh could be seen in the footage fending off the mob with a broomstick.

During the episode, one man in Albon's group received a stab wound to the right side of his chest. A pair of bloody scissors were recovered from the barbers next to the shop, but there was no conclusive evidence pointing to the culprit and the matter was subsequently dropped.

The altercation was caught on the shop's cameras and on the Borough's CCTV system, both of which were played to the court.

The court heard that upon initial questioning, Singh told police that the cameras were out of operation, but it transpired that they had been manually switched off just prior to the main outbreak of fighting.

Charges of violent disorder were reduced after guilty pleas for affray were accepted from all four men last month.

Singh was sentenced to 220 hours unpaid work and will be under a 1am-4am curfew for five months. Lee Albon and Bhachu were given 180 hours unpaid work and a 9pm-4am curfew for three months.

Jack Albon avoided community service but will be under a 10pm-4am curfew for five months. All men are to be electronically tagged, and further charges lie on file for all four defendants.
