Assault: Devonshire Square |
A drunken City
worker repeatedly punched a bar security guard after he was asked to
leave.
Luke Kenneth
Charge, 26, of King's Avenue, Buckhurst Hill, Woodford Green, Essex
left the victim bleeding heavily and was arrested.
He appeared at
Westminster Magistrates Court yesterday, where he changed his plea to
guilty to assaulting the guard in Devonshire Square, Bishopsgate,
causing him actual bodily harm, on September 13, last year.
The prosecutor
told the court it was 9.30pm and Charge was out drinking with work
colleagues and so obviously “intoxicated” security staff asked
him to leave.
He became “very
animated and upset” and a friend tried to calm him down and
persuade him to leave.
However, Charge
returned and attacked one of the security guard's, punching the
victim in the face with the assault continuing on the floor.
The court was told
there was a “substantial amount of bleeding” and the guard was
struck in the face again.
The case was
adjourned so unrepresented Charge could appoint a lawyer, with the
magistrate saying: “The aggravating feature is the sustained or
repeated attack.
“I am not ruling
prison out and that makes it very serious. I think he needs a
solicitor.”
