A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said Lloyd was released from prison with licence conditions imposed by the National Probation Service (NPS) on July 28 after serving half his sentence for robbery.

We have previously reported how Lloyd and his accomplice, Kyron Gee, launched an attack which left a footprint on the victim's face before video-calling his mother so she could see him lying battered on the ground.

Daniel Lloyd, who had been living at Duke of Edinburgh Way, Malvern, at the time of the attack and accomplice Kyron Gee pretended to help a drunk student at McDonald's in Worcester city centre but instead lured him to a dark, secluded part of the city's racecourse and set upon him, leaving him with a traumatic brain injury.

The robbers FaceTimed the victim's mother on his stolen iPhone 6 so she could see her son lying bleeding on the ground, claiming they had found him like that.

Lloyd and Gee lied to her that they needed the PIN code to unlock the phone so they could call an ambulance.

But an ambulance was never called and they left him there, unconscious.

When he sentenced them the judge said the robbers had only wanted the PIN code so they could unlock the phone and sell it on.

After the robbery they used the University of Worcester student's stolen bank cards to carry out a series of frauds, including buying themselves food from McDonald's and a pregnancy test for one of their girlfriends.

The victim was already 'heavily intoxicated' by the time he got to McDonald's in the city centre at 1.23am on May 21, 2019 which is where he met Gee and Lloyd standing outside.

During the robbery, his iPhone 6 and a wallet containing two bank cards and between £20 and £30 in cash were stolen.

The judge jailed Lloyd for six years and Gee for four-and-a-half.

A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: "Due to poor behaviour in the community Lloyd is in breach of his licence, therefore the licence has been revoked and a prison recall has been issued."
