A THUG has been jailed after he was seen attempting to rape another man in a busy local park before battering him in a 'prolonged' attack.
Connor Farren-Bell, 25, met the victim while he was sitting alone on a bench in Alkrington Woods in Middleton 'watching the world go by! After drinking a bottle of vodka together, Farren-Bell was later seen standing in front of the man, with his trousers down and 'thrusting' while the victim appeared unresponsive, Manchester Crown Court heard.
As two witnesses walked past, one coughed to alert them to their presence, causing Farren-Bell to stop.
They then heard him shouting 'if you were a woman! Farren-Bell then 'rained' punches on his head, face and body. He was later found huddled by the entrance to the park, bleeding and confused.
Farren-Bell returned to the park and walked past the victim, who shouted: "That's him." When the witnesses told him what they had seen, he said 'oh no, he hasn't done that to me' and vomited.
