A man has been jailed for 18 months after a judge was shown CCTV footage of him kicking out at another nightclubber in Bradford city centre last year.
The violent assault began after the complainant was ejected from the Lemon Shed club on Sackville Street following a complaint to security staff by Benjamin Bond’s partner.
Prosecutor Carmel Pearson played CCTV footage during a hearing at Bradford Crown Court which showed Bond dragging the complainant by the hood of his jacket across the pavement outside the club.
Bond, of Broadlea Street, Bramley, Leeds, was seen to kick out repeatedly at the complainant who at times was either sitting on the ground or lying down.
During the disturbance in February last year Bond took off his shirt before he and his partner eventually left the scene in a Volkswagen T-Roc.
Ms Pearson described how police officers tried to stop the vehicle as it drove up Leeds Road at speeds reaching 100mph before Bond lost control of the vehicle.
After the car came to a stop he tried to run off but was detained by officers.
Bond, who admitted charges of assault, dangerous driving, driving without insurance and without a licence, was banned from driving for the next three years and nine months and he must also pass an extended driving test.

Barrister David Hall said his 37-year-old client had worked in the building trade and was in a long-term relationship.
Mr Hall explained that Bond had already been subject to a qualifying electronically monitored curfew for more than 17 months.
That means that just over 300 days of the curfew will count towards the 18-month jail sentence imposed on Bond.
Recorder Taryn Turner said what happened that night had been “outrageous” and it was good fortune that the complainant had not been more seriously injured.
She said the victim had been repeatedly kicked and stamped on and Bond had taken off his shirt “ready for action”.
The judge said it had been a sustained attack on a man who presented no threat at all to Bond.
She said Bond’s dangerous driving had created an obvious risk of serious injury if not worse to other road users or pedestrians.
