A thug stabbed two men who tried to stop his brother beating up a mum outside a Chinese takeaway.

Sarah Lu was repeatedly punched in the body and also headbutted by Jake Kerswell outside the Magic Wok in Sittingbourne’s East Street.

His brother Kieron raced to the scene with no shoes on, and stabbed two men who tried to come to her aid.

The 31-year-old victim said: “It was 11pm and we were closed. I said ‘Sorry sir, we are closed. No more food for you’.

“He was very angry and swore... he punched my cheek. There was blood inside.”

Drunk Jake Kerswell, 23, assaulted Sarah Lu, while demanding to be served after hours at the Magic Wok in Sittingbourne.

His brother Kieron then lashed out with a knife having jumped out of bed and raced barefoot to the scene to support him.

Under an extended sentence for public protection, he will not be considered for release from the nine-year term until he has served two thirds. He will be on licence for a further three years.

The 25-year-old, of Crown Quay Lane, admitted two offences of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

Jake Kerswell, of Sheppey Beach Villas, Manor Way, Leysdown, admitted assault causing actual bodily harm and was sentenced to 16 months in prison.

Prosecutor Ed Connell said Jake Kerswell went to the takeaway in East Street just after 11pm on January 6 and became “rather animated” and banged on the counter when told it was closed.

Mrs Lu told her husband to call the police. Kerswell tried to stop her going outside, but she managed to do so to get help.

He grabbed her arm and pushed her back before punching her in the mouth splitting her lip. He punched her all over her body as her husband tried to intervene.

Jane Wise, the mother of Kerswell’s girlfriend, arrived in a car and urged him to get in.

Mrs Lu told Kerswell: “Don’t punch me again or I will give you kung fu.” He responded by headbutting her.

A group of people on their way home from an evening out confronted him.

Miss Wise, meanwhile, went to Kieron Kerswell’s home and reported there was trouble. Without stopping to put on shoes and socks he was driven to the scene.

He approached the group of people with a knife at his side, Mr Connell told Maidstone Crown Court.

He lashed out at Gary Spencer, slashing him across the bridge of his nose, leaving a flap of skin hanging down.

Jonathan Tilley tried to get away but was stabbed in his buttocks. His legs gave way and he was bleeding.

Both victims were taken to hospital. Mr Spencer’s nose was broken and the cartilage had to be put back and stitched. Mr Tilley needed an operation to repair the damage to a deep four-inch cut.

Mr Connell said the effect on both men was ongoing.
