| Lord's Cricket Ground |
A drunken cricket
fan, who had been drinking beer and champagne at a Lord's test match,
assaulted two security guards – biting one of them - as he tried to
re-enter the ground.
Construction
company boss Ross Allen, 39, of Westfield Close, Gravesend had
attended the England v Pakistan match with family and friends.
The father-of-two
pleaded guilty at Westminster Magistrates Court to assaulting Earl
Annakie and Djan Salih and being drunk and disorderly at the St.
John's Wood ground on May 25.
The magistrate
told him: “This was a most unfortunate episode and there were
certain aggravating features.
“You were drunk
and this involved security staff.
“It was a
lengthy episode and there was a bite and that must have caused a
great deal of anguish.”
However, the
magistrate added: “We appreciate you have shown remorse and that
you have been under stress.”
Allen was ordered
to complete 40 hours community service and was fined £100 with £85
costs, plus an £85 victim surcharge.
He must also pay
£500 compensation to Djan Salih, the security guard he bit.
