A teenager could have killed a man after a takeaway row escalated into a brutal attack - but he has been spared jail.
Rio Acomb, 19, punched a man in the face as he argued with him after a night out in Warrington town centre on April 1, 2023. The victim was knocked unconscious as he fell over and hit his head on the ground, before he had to be put in an induced coma, the Liverpool Echo reports.

They again advanced towards the defendant, and this time the defendant was standing in front of [the victim], and he swung his right arm into the face of him and caused him to fall backwards, hitting his head on
