A man who featured in a viral video of him being hit in the crotch and head by bricks during the Southport riot has been jailed.
Brian Spencer was first hit in the head by a brick thrown by a fellow rioter as he goaded a line of riot police on 30 July.
As he held his head, he was then hit by a second brick directly in the crotch, causing him to stagger in the street.
The 40-year-old, of Lytham Road, Southport, pleaded guilty at Liverpool Crown to violent disorder and was jailed for two years and six months.
