CCTV captures moment before man kills friend with a single punch

Thomas Brand (inset right) floored Anthony Richardson (inset left) outside the Chesterfield in Newcastle, causing his victim to smack his head on the concrete and suffer a bleed on the brain. Chilling CCTV footage (main) captured the sickening attack that ended the 46-year-old's life. The beating was the second that 'gentle' Mr Richardson was subjected to that day as, hours before, Brand's friend Nathan Aldus had knocked him out in another bar.

Warning: Some viewers might find the LACK of violence in this video disturbing.

The punch that killed 1 minute of my life

My cousin is in prison right now for the same thing. Bar fight started he swung at the guy but missed the face and hit him dead center of the throat. People who were there said by the time he hit the ground his face was already blue. People please choose your battles wisely.

Never would’ve thought they were having an argument before this happened.

This is why we need the dislike button to be visible

I want that one minute of my life back.

The lack of reading comprehension from so many people here is simply amazing.

when you're sick of your friend, you're sick of your friend

I don’t know what happened, I couldn’t take my eyes off the £2 a pint. 👍

That punch was so fast, that I didn't even see it, almost like it never happened.

"Moment man kills friend with single punch and we show you all but this moment"

[cjsalmagundi]

That video could’ve been literally about anything. The moment just before two men were abducted by an alien spacecraft. The moment just before one man dazzled his friend by inexplicably dancing like Fred Astaire.

Rest In Peace whichever one got punched and died. We will never know.

From their body language, one person seems to be releasing their frustrations verbally, while the other appears to be bottling it up. Communicating openly often paves the way for mutual understanding.

The idiotic advert which prevented the video from
bearing any relation to the title was so disturbing!

And this is why the dislike button should not have been disabled.

Wow. There you have it, the moment BEFORE man kills friend with a single punch.

[AlphaLeo]

The title clearly says captures moment BEFORE man kills friend with single punch.

[oochicken]

The only kill was my brain cells watching this

[ahmedalguar]

R.I.P to that man that got punched. It almost killed me just watching it
