A drunken stag party reveler, whose rowdy group was sprayed with C.S. gas by police during an angry confrontation outside a City pub, was fined for violently striking an Inspector.
Jobless Reagan Rajkumal, 28, of Larkspur Close, Kingsbury, was arrested in the shadow of Tower 42 after officers were called to the Corney and Barrow pub.
He pleaded guilty at City of London Magistrates’ Court (pictured) to assaulting Police Inspector Simon Douglas in Old Broad Street on July 26.
Prosecutor Miss Ravindra Hayre said: “When police arrived they saw a large number of aggressive people. Most of them were drunk and they were starting to fight with each other.
“Police tried to split up the parties and they became surrounded by a group of males. One of them was the defendant.
“They were shouting at the officers and were very aggressive towards the police,” added Miss Hayre.
“They tried to push the officers and one of them tried to punch an officer and C.S. gas was used against the group.
“The defendant then struck the Inspector in the chest area forcing him backwards and was told C.S. gas would be used,” explained the prosecutor.
“The defendant ignored the warning and continued to be aggressive and struck the Inspector again in the chest, forcing him backwards.”
First-time offender Rajkumal, who admitted drink played a part, was fined £200, plus £90 costs and ordered to pay Inspector Douglas £100 compensation.
