20-year-old admits assault ABH
A Douglas man will be sentenced later this year after punching a stranger in a car park.
Alex Egan, of Strang Close, appeared at Douglas Courthouse where he admitted assaulting the man and causing actual bodily harm.
The 20-year-old approached him in Shaw’s Brow just before 1.30am on 7 July along with four other people.
When the group’s request for a lift was declined Egan became aggressive and grabbed the man by the throat, pushing him into a concrete post and punching him in the face.
The man suffered a broken tooth and a swollen eye; Egan handed himself in to police the next day.
A social enquiry report has been requested before Egan is sentenced on 3 October; he’s been bailed until that date.
