The chase and attack lasted a minute. But it left one victim with a fractured skull and a lifelong condition.
Calling the attack "horrific", District Judge Mathew Joseph sentenced Phang Wee Lon, 21, to 3½ years in jail and six strokes of the cane yesterday.
Phang, a permanent resident from Malaysia, was one of five men who attacked the victims at about 3.30am on Oct 22 last year outside Club Flux, a Thai disco at Serangoon Road.
He added that Phang was on probation for housebreaking and theft by night in 2010 and had reformative training for snatch theft in 2011.
