A "calculated and self-serving" thug faked a crash with a deer to hide two "violent and sustained" assaults.
Ryan Webb, 30, of HMP Norwich, violently assaulted a man in his 60s at a home in Charles Avenue, Norwich, on May 8, 2025, before assaulting a woman in her 20s.
Webb pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm with intent, grievous bodily harm without intent and perverting the course of justice.
He was sentenced to 10 years in prison at Norwich Crown Court on Friday.
The court heard Webb punched the man three times in the head in an unprovoked attack before dragging him into a bedroom and kicking him in the face twice, causing him to become unconscious.
He was left with life-changing injuries, which have required him to relearn basic tasks such as eating, walking and speaking, and he will now need lifelong support.
Webb also assaulted a woman at the same address, kicking her and causing her to hit her head on a radiator and then punching her in the face.
He then drove the woman around in his car, continuing his assault until his vehicle ran out of fuel.
Webb staged a collision to explain the damage to his car and claimed it was caused by a deer.
Police and ambulance crews were told the woman's injuries were the result of the fictional accident.
A day after the attack, the woman and Webb returned to the Charles Avenue home after attending hospital for her injuries, where they found the male victim still unconscious.
A friend of the victim, concerned that he did not attend work, arrived and called for an ambulance.
At this point, Webb lied to paramedics, saying the man had suffered a medical episode.
He was subsequently arrested in Devon and interviewed by police, where he continued to lie about the circumstances of the assault and the fake collision.
DC Georgia Livock, investigating officer, said: “Webb’s actions were not only extremely violent, but calculated and self‑serving.”
