Friday, 10 May 2024 13:28

Getting involved in a scrap with another man at a city centre bar has landed a man with a hefty fine.

Andrew Burkitt, of Cronk Drean in Douglas, appeared before Deputy High Bailiff Rachael Braidwood at Douglas Courthouse.

The 23 year old admitted disorderly behaviour on licensed premises following the fight in 1886 on Regent Street on April 6.

Burkitt was found with a bloody nose by door staff and punched a man he believed was responsible - he also pulled the jumper from a member of staff.

Burkitt was fined £600 and ordered to pay £125 costs.
