This is the moment the gang brutally knocked the man down twice.

Gang leader David ‘Porky’ Clark, 36, was driving a Mercedes when he and his gang deliberately tried to run over the victim on Ridley Street in Southwick, Sunderland.

As the man tried to escape in a silver hatchback, Clark and the Volvo driver rammed the car and hit another parked vehicle.

The shocking attack took place on April 5, 2020, when cars hit him twice and his vehicle was rammed three more times.

Moments later, Clark – assisted by Shaun Hewitt, Shaun McGregor and Leigh Coulson – disarmed Luke Owen, who was in possession of a machete.

Owen was then stabbed with a machete in the middle of the street, leaving him with serious leg injuries and cuts to his face.

Earlier that evening, Clark’s girlfriend, Coulson, threatened a resident of a home on the same street where the attack occurred.

She told the victim she would be “burned to a crisp” and that a car would drive through her living room.

That same night, a car drove through the front door of the house and was then set on fire.

All five members of the Sunderland gang pleaded guilty to a string of offences at Newcastle Crown Court in February.

On Friday, gang leader Clark was sentenced to 44 months in prison after pleading guilty to assault, dangerous driving and violent disorder.

Coulson, 33, pleaded guilty to a charge of rioting with violence and making threats to commit an offence by arson and was sentenced to 12 months suspended imprisonment.

Hewitt, 29, McGregor, 32, and Owen, 34, have pleaded guilty to their roles in a violent disorder, while Owen has also pleaded guilty to possessing a dangerous weapon.

Hewitt was sentenced to a year in prison, McGregor to 15 months and Owen received an 11-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months.

Detective Inspector Andy Richardson, of Northumbria Police, said: “The violence we witnessed on the streets of Southwick that night was appalling and all five defendants should be ashamed.

“The series of incidents unfolded in a residential area as families watched in shock – and were no doubt terrified to see the level of crime,

yards from their front door.

“Clark was at the center of this mess and is someone who has consistently shown a complete disregard for the law.

“I am glad he is now behind bars and the gravity of his crimes is reflected in his sentence.

“We will not tolerate violence in our communities and we hope this outcome will reassure our communities.

“We are determined to continue the fight against serious and organised crime.”
