Teenagers filmed in vicious attack on homeless man

The victim, Paul Vickers, suffered serious head injuries in the unprovoked attack, which was carried out in the early morning of July 24 while he was asleep on a bench at a bus shelter.

During the assault, which was filmed by the group using a mobile phone camera, he was struck repeatedly over the head and body with a metal bar.

Oliver Skeggs (17), was convicted of attempted murder last Wednesday at Lewes Crown Court.

Terry Bryan (19) and Alistair Field (17) were convicted of causing GBH with intent. Ross Beeby (19), also from Chichester, had previously pleaded guilty to the same charge.
