A reveller's been fined after a fracas at a Douglas bar which left security staff fearing for their safety.

Brian Lowther, of Heather Crescent in Pulrose, appeared before Deputy High Bailiff Rachael Braidwood at Douglas Courthouse.

The 24-year-old pleaded guilty to disorderly behaviour on licensed premises in 1886 Bar and Grill in Regent Street on March 17.

A family was asked to leave after offensive comments to security - one member reportedly threw a punch before Lowther got involved, pushing staff.

Lowther was fined £700 and ordered to pay £125 costs.
