A 15-YEAR-OLD boy attacked two shop workers with a wooden bat after being turned away for not having enough cash for a Coke.
The teenager launched a tirade of abuse when he could not pay the £1.10 for the bottled drink from Khan's Store, in Bentinck Road, Radford.
He then cracked the shop door with a kick as he left, before returning minutes later with 45-year-old John Batty.
Batty used a metal bar as he joined him in repeatedly hitting brothers Imnan Altaf and Adnan Khan, leaving them both with head wounds.
Mr Altaf, 18, said the youngster had shouted racist abuse and made threats before leaving, but he didn't expect him to come back.
"After about six minutes he came back in. He was still being racist and he started fighting.
"He started hitting me on the head. He attacked my brother, Adnan, and hit him on the head as well."
Batty, of no fixed address, came in behind him with the metal bar, he said.
"They both started fighting. I had a blackout."
Mr Khan's cousin, Shabaz Khan, 24, got everyone out of the shop.
Mr Altaf needed stitches to a head wound, while Mr Khan, who owns the shop, was also injured in the attack, on November 24 last year.
"I just said, 'go away'," explained Mr Altaf. "I wasn't afraid."
After moving to Britain from Holland and starting the business less than a year ago, he complained: "This is the worst country I have lived in."
Yesterday, the youth, who is now 16, was given a two-year Intensive Supervision and Surveillance Programme, also called an ISSP.
He will be on a home curfew, between set hours, for six months, and his movements monitored by a tag.
He pleaded guilty to damaging the shop door, having an offensive weapon – the wooden bat, racially-aggravated assault to Mr Altaf and assaulting Mr Khan.
Batty pleaded guilty to assaulting both men and two charges of possessing an offensive weapon. He was locked up for two years, four months.
Judge Andrew Hamilton told them they went in armed with weapons.
"You hit both of them on the head and, hitting them as frequently as you possibly could, causing them wounds."
He said: "It's the most awful offence. Luckily they managed to get you out of the building."
Batty and the boy, who is from Nottingham but cannot be identified due to his age, have been made the subject of a restraining order not to contact the victims or go within 25 metres of the shop.
