Soon after police had left, both brothers had got into a car, which was driven by Douglas, and decided to catch up with the victim.
They had driven to Solway Railway Station where he was waiting to catch a train.
At the station they saw the man and had jumped out of the car. Douglas Stammers had a socket wrench while Peter Stammers had a metal bar and the pair had hit the man repeatedly.
The brothers had then got back into their car and driven towards the man. The vehicle had struck the man so forcefully he was thrown on to the bonnet and the windscreen cracked. After sliding off the bonnet he had tried to get away.
Shortly afterwards the Stammers brothers had tried to run the man down a second time, striking him with the right side of the car. He had sustained bruising and abrasions.
The brothers were located shortly after the incident and were spoken to by police. They had admitted assaulting the man.
However, Peter Stammers had said he went to see the victim to get his cigarettes back and denied having a metal bar.
Defence lawyer Ian Hard told Judge Tom Broadmore the brothers had only driven at the complainant because he had allegedly smashed car windows. He said the victim had charged towards the car and jumped on the bonnet.
Mr Hard asked the judge to consider community detention.
Judge Broadmore requested a pre-sentence report that would look at the suitability of an electronically monitored sentence and he remanded the Stammers brothers on bail to appear for sentencing on June 24.
He said he was disappointed to see the brothers were still frequenting the court system after he first encountered them some years ago.
"I first came across the Stammers in November 2006.
"I remember thinking it was strange they were [offending].
"They seem to have quite a bit going for them in terms of intelligence so I'm sorry to see things haven't changed," Judge Broadmore said.
