40-year-old wedding DJ, Leigh Brookfield has been handed a jail sentence after urinating on a cancer patient in a vile Snapchat prank.

 

It was gathered that the victim, Peter Barton told Leigh Brookfield about his prostate cancer diagnosis while they stood at a urinal together.

Brookfield then told him “sorry to hear that bud” before proceeding to aim his stream at the victim’s back. The sick prankster posted footage of the stunt on Snapchat on Boxing Day.

 

He has now been jailed for 14 weeks after pleading guilty to common assault. He was also ordered to pay Peter £500 compensation, £85 in costs and a £154 surcharge.

 

In a victim impact statement, Peter said: “I couldn’t believe that someone could do that to another person.” He said his son saw the footage and was disgusted when he heard a member of the public turn to his wife and say: “That’s the man from Facebook.”

 

The wedding DJ was reported to police after the video was shared multiple times and he was arrested. Before jailing him, District Judge Mark Layton said;

 

“Mr Barton engaged you in polite conversation telling you he had prostate cancer. Most people would have retaliate with kind words and sympathy.”
