He appeared at Leeds Crown Court on Wednesday, February 6 and entered a guilty plea to the assault and also a number of motoring offences.

He was jailed for eight years on Wednesday, February 15.

Detective Inspector Mark Catney, of Kirklees CID, who led the investigation, said: “Hussain’s actions that day were reckless and violent as he deliberately drove his car into a crowded area outside a busy nightclub on New Year’s Day. This incident has left a young man with serious injuries.

“We welcome the sentence which has been handed down to Hussain today and hope that it will provide the victim and his family with closure and justice following this terrible ordeal.”
