Man admits assault and drug possession

A man's been put on probation after admitting to vicious assault and having cocaine and cannabis.

20-year-old Alex Egan of Strang Close in Douglas appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.

He admitted causing actual bodily harm after punching a man in Shaw's Brow car park in July, leaving his victim with a broken tooth and swollen eye.

Egan also pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing drugs in 1886 in September.

Magistrates put him on probation for six months and ordered him to pay £830 compensation to his victim.
