A MAN fractured his friend’s nose after he entered the wrong PIN to stop him from getting cash to buy drugs.

Jack Pocock subjected his victim to a ‘shocking’ beating and left him with displaced teeth and a fractured nose.

CCTV played at Bournemouth Crown Court showed the moment Pocock ‘became angry’ and punched his victim to the head and face, before pushing him to the floor and kicking him.

Prosecuting, Christopher Pix told the court that in the days before the assault, Pocock was staying at the victim’s flat, despite him not being allowed to due to bail conditions.

The victim asked him to leave in July last year as he was concerned with Pocock's drug use.

In the early hours of the morning of July 25, the pair left the flat after Pocock, 25, demanded £40 in cash to buy drugs.

They went to the cash point at Santander in Commercial Road, Bournemouth, where Pocock tried to take out £100. However, the victim intentionally entered the wrong PIN.

Pocock then assaulted him, knocking him to the floor and walking away.

Pocock later sent his hospitalised victim a WhatsApp message saying: “Keep your mouth shut or it might just cost you your life if you open it.”

Mitigating, Nick Robinson said that Pocock said he transferred money to the victim, and that the pair had gone to withdraw this.

When the victim did not do so, ‘the altercation began and that’s when he lost his temper’, Mr Robinson said.

Mr Robinson added that the assault was ‘too stupid behaviour to be planned’ and that it was ‘immature behaviour towards somebody who was a friend’.

He said Pocock has lost his flat ‘as a result of his asinine behaviour’.

Judge Susan Evans KC said the attack was ‘shocking’ and ‘unpleasant’, and that the message sent to the victim while in hospital was ‘bullying’.

Addressing Pocock, Judge Evans said: “[You have] shown little by way of remorse for what you have done.”

She said he had been using his shod foot as a weapon, had been taking cocaine and had threatened the victim, while breaching bail conditions.

Judge Evans said that Pocock was ‘immature’, and that he would get a 25 per cent discount as a result of his guilty plea.

Pocock, of no fixed address, was jailed for 15 months.
