Three more sentenced over biker gang attack in Forest of Dean

Three additional individuals have been sentenced for their involvement in a biker gang attack that occurred in the Forest of Dean in April 2025.

  • Joshua Bell received a 17-month prison sentence for violent disorder.
  • Mark Gibson and Paul Price were given suspended sentences for their roles in the disorder.
  • The attack targeted the president of a rival motorcycle group, who sustained serious injuries.

Three more individuals have been sentenced at Bristol Crown Court for their part in a violent disorder involving rival motorcycle gangs in the Forest of Dean. Joshua Bell was sentenced to 17 months in prison, while Mark Gibson and Paul Price received suspended sentences.

The court heard that Bell, Price, and Gibson were on the "periphery" of the attack, which occurred in April 2025. The victim, president of The Outlaws' Gloucester and Forest of Dean chapter, was attacked by members of the Rock Machine Motorcycle Club, some reportedly armed with metal poles, a baseball bat, and a hammer.

The victim, 60, suffered a bleed on the brain, multiple jaw fractures, and a broken nose, according to Acting Detective Sergeant Robert Humphreys of Gloucestershire Police. The victim's partner also sustained serious injuries, including fractured ribs and a fractured wrist. Six other individuals were jailed in June for their involvement in the main attack.

Luke Cole, who was also involved in the disorder but not a gang member, will be sentenced at a later date.
