Scottish Football Fan In Pub Assault


A Scottish football fan, who attacked another man in a landmark Central London pub, has dodged jail with a suspended sentence, but is banned from matches for four years.

Christopher John Kloumann, 39, (pictured) of Kirklandneuk Road, Renfrew was sentenced to fifteen months imprisonment, suspended for two years.


He had already pleaded guilty at his first appearance at Hammersmith Magistrates' Court to assaulting Michael Butler, causing him actual bodily harm, at the Shakespeare Pub, Buckingham Palace Road, Victoria on March 9.


Kloumann was committed to Southwark Crown Court for sentencing after the lower court decided it's own powers – which are limited to six months custody – were insufficient to meet the justice of the case.


The court heard he was in the capital for a football match.


Kloumann was also sentenced to perform 100 hours community service.


He was made subject to a football banning order, prohibiting him from attending designated matches for four years.
