The brawl spilled into Motum Road in North Earlham on June 19 last year and involved up to 30 people in the presence of children.

Five defendants were sentenced in April when CCTV was shown to the court.

In the first, just past 2pm, Billy Newton, 19 from Motum Road, and another person were seen cycling along the road, and were then chased on foot by a bare-chested man - referred to as a member of a Jackson family - who lives in the same road.

The second incident was the brawl, which occurred about 7.25pm. As well as the adults involved in the affray, the footage shows a number of children present at the scene.

The court was told that although no-one was injured in the affray, a car was damaged, items were thrown at a house and makeshift weapons, and dogs, were used to threaten people.

Part of the disturbance was caught on camera by onlookers, with one video posted on Facebook showing a man carrying a metal object in his hand while police can also be seen restraining people while bystanders shouted.

Police patrols in the area were stepped up following the disorder to 'offer reassurance to local residents'.

Recorder Guy Ayers said the footage of the scene painted 'a very depressing picture'.

Thirty-three year old Danny Newton, of Motum Road, who admitted affray, had his sentence deferred for six months.

When he returned to court Recorder Ayers gave him a 12 month sentence suspended for two years, in addition to 120 hours of unpaid work, a 20 day rehabilitation activity requirement, compensation for Chloe Jackson of £300, and a restraining order.

'Last time in my merciful way I gave you a chance to show you did know how to behave,' he told Newton. 'You realised your behaviour on this occasion was unacceptable. You are supposed to be setting an example to young people and this was a very, very poor example of aggression and threats.

'In the last six months you have stayed out of trouble and taken advantage of the community-based orders you were already subject to.'

The other defendants

-Billy Newton, 19, from Motum Road: Sentenced to eight months in a young offenders' institution, suspended for two years; 60 hours unpaid work; a 20-day rehabilitation requirement (RAR) and a 35-day accredited programme requirement (APR).

-Mark Hale, 29, from Earlham Grove: Sentenced to 12 months, suspended for two years, and a curfew for four months between 8pm and 6am which will be monitored electronically. He was also given a 10-day RAR and a 40-day APR.

-Jemma Wooldridge, 30, from Earlham Grove: Sentenced to 10 months, suspended for two years and 120 hours unpaid work.

-Jason Mulchay, 37, from Fugill Road, Norwich: Sentenced to 10 months, suspended for two years and 120 hours unpaid work.

All admitted affray shortly after the incident, and a sixth man, Nathan Pitchford, 38, of Knowland Grove, Norwich, admitted affray following a plea hearing on March 21. Pitchford was sentenced to 12 months, suspended for two years, 150 hours unpaid work, and a 30-day RAR.

All six defendants were also made subject to a restraining order that they not contact Becky or Lisa Jackson or go to an address in Scarlet Road, Tuckswood, and another in Swafield Street, Bowthorpe.
