Conor Murphy Wiki – Bio

Conor Murphy, 29, a Norwich City youth soccer manager who hit a man over the head with a metal post for not wearing a Covid mask has been jailed.

Conor Murphy was waiting in line to buy food at a McDonald’s in June 2021 when he lashed out at a group of four people not wearing face coverings. After becoming increasingly enraged, the 29-year-old returned to his car where he found the metal pole, before attacking one of the men again. He has now been jailed for two years and eight months for the ‘disgusting’ attack, having previously pleaded guilty to actual bodily harm, grievous bodily harm, and possession of an offensive weapon. He has since left his managerial position at Norwich.

The fight started when Murphy was waiting to order food at the Haddon Services fast food restaurant in Peterborough, just off the A1. He saw a group of four people, including a 15-year-old boy, and asked one of them why his friend wasn’t wearing a mask. However, she had undergone heart bypass surgery and was exempt from rules at the time that made face coverings mandatory indoors, a court heard. The group got their food and went to sit down, but as they left, Murphy asked again why the woman wasn’t wearing a mask. An altercation then broke out between the man and Murphy, who pushed and shoved each other. The soccer coach returned to his car and sat there for three minutes, before finding the pole behind the driver’s seat and returning to face the group. He struck the unmasked man on the right side of the head before he fell to the ground, sustaining a bad cut that needed glue. The victim’s partner intervened and Murphy also struck her on the wrist. Onlookers tried to hold him down, but he escaped and fled. He was arrested a few days after turning himself in at Thorpe Wood police station.

In an impact statement, the male victim said:  The upheaval caused by this incident will never go away. I have frequent nightmares that come in the form of flashbacks when I feel the blow and see the blood spilling on my hands.” He also said that he has suffered from migraines, headaches, and ringing in the ears, forcing him to temporarily leave his job as a machinist.

On Wednesday 8 March, at Peterborough Magistrates Court which was acting as the crown court, Murphy, of Warmington, Northants, was jailed. DC Andrea Farnes, of Cambridgeshire Police, said: “This was a sickening and senseless assault on someone who was just going about his day-to-day business.” Murphy knew what he was doing was incredibly dangerous and now he can reflect on his stupid actions in prison.” Murphy was ordered to pay compensation of £2,000 to the male victim and £1,000 to the female, as well as a £156 victim surcharge.
