Youth sentenced to three years for attack on Michal Hrůza

An Ostrava court on Tuesday sentenced a 19-year-old who savagely attacked popular rock singer musician Michal Hrůza to three years in prison. The co-defendant, his 18-year-old cousin, was given a one year conditional sentence suspended for two-and-a-half years. Hrůza was attacked last July in Ostrava when he tried to intervene to break up a fight. He was left with a brain haemorrhage and concussion. He has recently launched a tour of the Czech Republic.
