Watford Hells Angel jailed after 'vicious' attack on biker

Callum Shaw, who is of no fixed address but understood to be from Watford, and Daniel Kent, of Farrington Avenue in Bushey, were part of an attack on a group of Vikings Motorcycle Club members on October 8, 2022.

Fellow Hells Angel Barry Brown was also jailed.

Several members jumped out of Hells Angels vehicles and started to attack the rivals in Findon Road, Findon, West Sussex.

The court heard that this was “revenge”, after a group of Vikings stole jackets and items belonging to Hells Angels at a Surrey service station earlier in the day.

One Viking, a 52-year-old man from Harrow, ran away from the disturbance. He was then chased down by Shaw, who stabbed the victim before Brown and Kent ran over to assist him.

The court heard that Shaw proceeded to stab their victim, before all running away. Multiple witnesses called 999 and the attack was caught on camera.

Although the victim suffered “life-threatening injuries” and was treated at the scene, he has since recovered.

Sussex Police later arrested all three suspects.

Detective Constable Matt Watson said: “This was a vicious attack and an incident which got out of hand very quickly.

“The significant sentences recognise the seriousness of the incident, which was in the middle of a busy street and had a profound impact on the local community.

“Shaw, Brown, and Kent are dangerous individuals, and the streets are safer with them in prison.”

Shaw admitted Section 18 grievous bodily harm (GBH), burglary, violent disorder, and possession of a knife and was sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment.

The 27-year-old was also given a five-year extension on license due to the dangerousness of the crime when he appeared before Lewes Crown Court on February 26.

He was also sentenced to a further year for a burglary at the Vikings Club House in Portsmouth.

Barry Brown, 41, of Top Road, Calow, Derbyshire, appeared in the court on March 1 and was jailed for three years for violent disorder and actual bodily harm.
