Google MapsThree attackers scarred a man for life in a violent brawl outside a gym.
Andrew Reynolds, 22, Callum Reynolds, 21, and Louis Stuksis, 20, assaulted the man outside JD Gyms near Glasgow’s Oatlands on March 7, 2023.
The three assailants punched the victim on the head and body before he was struck with a metal bar.
Callum Reynolds then smashed the bar off a second man’s head after he attempted to intervene, which left him scarred too.
The Reynolds brothers and Stuksis pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assaulting the first victim to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement.
Callum Reynolds also admitted assaulting the second man to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement.
Stuksis further pled guilty to possession of the metal bar in a public place without a reasonable excuse or lawful authority.
The court heard that all men involved were members of the gym at Crown Retail Park.
There had been a “previous issues” between the trio and the victim in the weeks prior.
One of the three had approached the man and words were exchanged but he was unable to hear due to wearing earphones.
The second man later became aware and attempted to calm the situation down between the men.
Callum Reynolds made further comments to the first victim before he walked off.
Both victims left the gym with two unknown men but were seen to return to the entrance.
The Reynolds brothers exited the gym with Stuksis, who was in possession of the metal bar.
The trio spoke to the victim before Callum Reynolds punched him in the face, and a fight broke out.
Prosecutor Hazel Kerr said: “During this time Stuksis struck [the victim] to the head with the metal bar.”
The second man approached the brawl to assist, but Callum Reynolds pursued him around the car park.
Ms Kerr added: “He struck him to the face with the metal bar which caused [him] to back away.
“The fight continued and Andrew Reynolds lifted the first victim up then slammed his body to the ground.
“All three continued to kick him to the face and body whilst he was on the ground.”
The trio went back inside the gym to collect their stuff before they left the scene.
The victim was taken to hospital where he was found to have suffered a bruised eyelid, swelling to his cheekbone and a wound to his forehead.
Ms Kerr stated: “This was cleaned and closed with three stitches and will result in scarring.
“[The second victim] attended hospital, which revealed a wound below his eye which was closed with stitches and will result in scarring.”
The sentence was deferred pending background reports until next month by Sheriff Iain Fleming.
The Reynolds, of the city’s Parkhead, and Stuksis, of Mount Florida, had their bail continued.
