| Stephen McGowan, district procurator fiscal for Aberdeen, said afterwards: "This was an horrific and disturbing attack on a defenceless man. | |
| "Jaroslaw Janeczek was dragged from his car and subjected to a relentless and brutal assault. | |
| "He was repeatedly kicked and punched, and had the car door slammed on his head, and he was assaulted with a wooden mop handle which resulted in severe and extensive injuries." | |
| He added: "Had it not been for the skill of the surgeons during an eight-hour operation, Mr Janeczek would have died from the terrible injuries he sustained. | |
| "He is still undergoing medical treatment, and I am sure he will never forget his ordeal. However we hope he will take some comfort from the fact that his attackers have been convicted." |
