Suffolk man jailed over hotel attack
Red Lodge man sentenced to nine years after hotel worker attack.
Paul Falco, who's 39 and from Bridge End Road, was sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court on Friday 18th December after being found guilty of wounding with intent.
It follows an attack on the 17th Aprul at the Worlington Hall Hotel.
Police were called to the scene by the ambulance service reporting that a staff member had been badly assaulted during the early hours of the morning by three unknown males who entered the hotel with their faces covered, brandishing a bat.
The male victim, aged in his 50s, was found by a colleague after they failed to get hold of him during the same day.
They checked on him in his room in the evening and found him badly injured - he had a large laceration to his face and both eyes were swollen purple and closed.
The victim, who has since made a full recovery, was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital with a suspected skull fracture and broken leg.
Police charged Falco following an investigation but the other two suspects were never found.
Detective Constable Andy Day from Bury St Edmunds CID said: "This was an extremely vicious attack that left the victim needing extensive treatment to his injuries.
"The fact he had sustained a head injury and was left unconscious for several hours in a room alone makes it remarkable in that that he has managed a full recovery and that there was no long lasting permanent damage.”
