Donal MacIntyre: Exclusive CCTV of mob
A HEAVING, baying mob surrounds undercover television journalist Donal MacIntyre and pummels him to the floor as they rain down a barrage of blows with their fists.
When his distraught, crying wife Ameera bravely attempts to save him from the avalanche of fists she, too, is savagely beaten.
Our web site’s exclusive CCTV video of the scene was not taken at a gangster’s hell hole which MacIntyre, 44, had infiltrated but at a smart bar called Cloud 9 in Hampton Court, Surrey.
The couple had been enjoying a quiet drink as Ameera tried to relax before a hospital appointment the next day for a brain tumour condition.
Last week justice finally caught up with just one of the attackers as a jury found father-of-three James Wild, 47, guilty of the revenge attack.
By sheer chance he knew Chelsea Headhunters thug Jason Marriner, jailed after being exposed by MacIntyre, and when he recognised the journalist he decided to exact revenge. At Guildford Crown Court, Recorder Laurence West told Wild he faces “years in jail” when he is sentenced on November 26.
