An individual carried out an unexpected assault on a teenager before escaping by leaping over a twelve-foot barrier, which resulted in a fractured ankle. Proceedings at Nottingham Crown Court revealed that Levi Miller was under the influence of a mixture of cocaine and alcohol, speaking incoherently, when he struck the youth in the face near a kebab establishment in Southwell. The twenty-five-year-old left the fifteen-year-old victim with a bleeding nose from the injury, fled the location, sustained serious harm to himself, and was confined to a wheelchair for half a year. Despite having violated the terms of an existing court order, the father of one child received a suspended prison sentence for the assault. Recorder James Bide-Thomas imposed eight months of imprisonment, suspended for eighteen months, stating that the defendant had been significantly intoxicated, with a witness describing him as speaking nonsense and observing a bag of white powder fall from his pocket before he suddenly struck the victim in the face. After fleeing down an alleyway, he jumped over a twelve-foot fence and broke his ankle. The court had reviewed the teenager’s victim impact statement, which detailed how the pain from his injury prevented him from preparing for his GCSE examinations. Prosecutor Matt Hayes stated that the assault occurred in King Street, Southwell, at approximately eleven p.m. on April nineteenth, two thousand twenty-five. The victim and his companions had been in the town centre and were standing outside a children’s store when they encountered the defendant. The group engaged in conversation with Miller before two young women approached and confronted him regarding something he had said to them previously that evening. The prosecutor explained that the defendant suddenly punched the victim in the face, ran down an alleyway, scaled a twelve-foot wall, and was discovered concealed near a bus by police officers, having apparently broken his ankle. The teenager was taken to hospital where his broken nose was treated before being discharged. In his victim impact statement, the school pupil described being unable to participate in football or even support his school’s final match, which caused him significant distress. Miller, residing in Easthorpe, Southwell, admitted to assault causing actual bodily harm and violating both a suspended sentence order and a community order. His criminal record includes a domestic violence offence against a former partner, who is the mother of his three-year-old daughter, committed while he was living in Penrith, Cumbria. Counsel James Varley stated in mitigation that Miller had shattered his ankle during the fence jump and spent six months in a wheelchair before requiring crutches to walk. He has abstained from alcohol, largely due to the incompatibility with his prescribed painkillers. The barrister suggested that his behavior would likely not have occurred had he not been under the influence of cocaine. As part of the suspended sentence, the judge mandated ninety days of alcohol monitoring and twenty rehabilitation sessions, along with payment of one thousand pounds in compensation to the teenager.
