The 41-year-old father-of-four pleaded guilty to grave and criminal assault following the incident at Havana Nightclub on 26 May.
Crown Advocate David Hopwood said the attack happened after the victim’s friend approached Rahman twice and using ‘robust language’ asked him to move away as he believed the defendant was staring at them.
