William Beckett stamped on a 62 year old man's head nine times in a row over a cigarette.
The 31 year old thug then went back to his victim 10 minutes and threw him at a wall.
He was jailed for six years eight months on November 30 for the savage attack st Dewsbury Railway Station which the judge said could have left his victim with much worse injuries.
Detective Constable David Bentley from BTP said: “This was a completely unprovoked, violent and sustained attack which Beckett could offer no explanation for, other than the fact he had been drinking throughout the day."

Slaithwaite judo instructor Neil Gilpin was caged for 10 years for preying on two under-age boys during a boat trip after coaxing them into woods.
The court heard one of the victims, who used to be a “happy-go-lucky boy”, had issued a “heart-rending” statement about the devastating effects Gilpin’s crimes had had upon him.
Jailing him for 10 years, the judge told him on November 22 his actions had been "utterly wicked."
