A TEENAGER who attacked a kebab shop owner with a golf club has been locked up for three years and banned from part of Poole on his release.

Richard Walker, 18, is expected to serve a year-and-a-half in a young offenders' institution after being convicted of committing a racist attack on Turk Halil Asciogly.

And he has also been made the subject of an Antisocial Behaviour Order preventing him from walking down part of Turlin Road for the next three years.

Walker, who splits his time between his mother's house in Uxbridge and his father's house in Egmont Road, Turlin Moor, left Mr Asciogly with a badly-fractured elbow following the attack on April 16 this year.

Tempers flared between the two when Walker started throwing stones at Flames Pizza and Kebabs shop in Turlin Road.

Walker and another man later returned dressed "like al Qaeda terrorists" and carrying golf clubs. One strike from Walker was enough to leave Mr Asciogly needing 28 stitches.

Chris Gair, defending, said the attack was not premeditated: "This was effectively one blow with a golf club. It was not a sustained and frenzied attack."

And concerning the ASBO application made by the Borough of Poole and Dorset Police, he said: "An ASBO could act as a handicap to his future life and progression, bearing in mind he is only 18."

But Judge Samuel Wiggs ruled the people of Turlin Moor needed protecting from Walker.

"I'm satisfied this was a deliberate attack intended to cause really serious injury. I'm also satisfied it was a racially aggravated attack and it was extremely unpleasant for that reason," he said.

Upon his release, Walker will be banned from walking down Turlin Road between its junction with Fitzworth Avenue and Shipstal Close.

Sgt Nick Hodge said: "This is one of a number of ASBOs that have been obtained in recent months targeting the anti-social youths on Turlin Moor. We're starting to see the success of those prohibitions now."
