The 44-year-old from Wigan in Lancashire was fined £2,000 and ordered to pay his victim £500 compensation after pleading guilty to grave and criminal assault and malicious damage to a door and carpet of a hotel room.

Assistant Magistrate Peter Harris said that the defendant and his friends were being reprimanded for making too much noise late at night when the offence was committed.
