He left but returned with a 2ft piece of boarding he had broken off across the road.

He hit windows, causing one at the Victoria Street shop to break. A staff member managed to grab the wood from him and there was a struggle. Faulder was dragged to the ground and detained.

Lauren Fisher, mitigating, said Faulder was upset after going to a joint funeral for his grandparents earlier that day and having an argument with his girlfriend. He had been drinking heavily.

He claimed a "joke" he made about being given wrong change at the shop was taken the wrong way by staff and he was punched in the face by one of them.

"It wasn't his intention to get into a fight with anybody," said Miss Fisher.

He claimed he suffered "quite nasty" injuries included loosened teeth and a scratch.

Unemployed Faulder was ordered to pay £200 compensation and £50 costs.
