A CLUBBER punched a man in the face as they both waited to be served at a bar.
Nathan Caveney, 25, of Holborn Crescent in Brynteg, appeared at Wrexham Magistrates Court charged with assault.
Justin Espie, prosecuting, told the court that at 2.30am on October 17, Caveney tried to buy a drink at Liquid nightclub on Brook Steet.
There was some pushing between him and another man, Kevin Crilly, who was also waiting to be served, and Caveney punched him above his left eye.
Bar staff saw the incident and called police.
Melissa Griffiths, defending, said Caveney had had a bad day and was ‘drowning his sorrows’ after finding out his mum, with whom he lives, has terminal cancer.
Ms Griffiths said Caveney, who makes equipment for children’s play areas, had been out with his brother and a friend and had too much to drink.
There was pushing and shoving between the pair as they stood at the bar and Caveney punched Mr Crilly, who later needed medical treatment.
Caveney pleaded guilty to assault and magistrates gave him a 12-month community order during which he must complete 120 hours of unpaid work.
He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £85, a victim surcharge of £60 and compensation of £150.
Caveney was also excluded from entering Liquid for the next 12 months.
