A Polish worker with a grudge has been jailed after carrying out a vicious and sadistic attack on his former employer.

The victim, 30-year-old Olalekan Animashaun, was left with a dislocated shoulder, a fractured cheek-bone, a damaged eye and minus two teeth after being beaten with a fire extinguisher and a trolley.

During the beating he had his mouth, ankles and wrists taped and was secured to a door-handle by his ankles.

Mr Animashaun crawled out of the arcade - Agora - on Hounslow High Street at 6.30 on Sunday morning, April 22, after struggling out of his bindings, and was taken to West Middlesex Hospital and later transferred to Charing Cross for facial surgery.

The main assailant from a trio of men who barged into the arcade at about 4am was Maciej Oledski, 29, of Alliance Close, Wembley. He admitted charges of robbery and causing Mr Animashaun grievous bodily harm with intent. He was jailed for a total of five-and-a-half years.

He gave police only the first names of the other two men and they are yet to be apprehended, prosecutor William Eaglestone told Isleworth Crown Court last Friday.

Oledski, a 6ft 3ins former rugby professional, had been working at the arcade for four weeks when he considered he was not being paid enough, or quickly enough. He walked out with £360 from the till "After spending a day drinking with his two friends, he decided to go back to the arcade and take money from the premises," said Mr Eaglestone. "The three went in and he led the attack using first a trolley and then a fire extinguisher to bring Mr Animashaun to the ground where he was kicked and beaten."

The men left the shop taking the victims mobile phone and £2,300 of takings from a cupboard, said counsel. Police went to Oledski's home the next day and his wife said he had not been home. He eventually gave himself up to police and admitted his part in the attack.

His counsel, Matthew Orr, said he had never been in trouble before but he was an alcoholic who was undergoing treatment.

Jailing him, Judge Jonathan Lowen said it was a "most shocking attack." However, the judge decided Oledski not necessarily a danger to the public and should not be given an indeterminate sentence.
