Port Talbot,South Wales - Manager of clothes shop who acted like a "drunken clown" and punched a bouncer has avoided jail

Thomas Baker was sentenced at Swansea Crown Court
THE manager of a clothes shop who acted like a "drunken clown" on a night out and punched a bouncer on the face — while on a suspended sentence for previous assault — has avoided jail.
Thomas Baker became involved in a disturbance in the Back2Mine nightclub in Port Talbot in the early hours of Christmas morning, and when a member of club security tried to intervene he lashed out and hit the bouncer on the nose, causing it to bleed.
Swansea Crown Court heard that police were called and Baker was ejected from the club — once outside his behaviour was described as "drunk and aggressive" as he shouted at officers and door staff.
He was subsequently arrested.
Baker, of Wern Road, Margam, had previously pleaded guilty to battery on a basis — that he had intended to punch the person the bouncer had in a neck lock rather than the bouncer himself — when he appeared in the dock for sentencing.
Catherine Richards, for the prosecution, said the 25-year-old — who works as a manger at the Profile fashion store in Bridgend — was subject to a suspended prison sentence for a previous assault when he carried out the Christmas Day attack.
Judge Paul Thomas QC said he had been the judge who had imposed the previous suspended sentence on Baker, and that the defendant had been lucky to avoid prison on that occasion.
The judge said the Baker had acted like a "drunken clown" in the club, and needed to grow up.
He fined Baker £500 for breaching the suspended sentence and imposed a 12 month community order with a two month 8pm to 6am curfew for the battery.
The judge told him: "You seem to be doing everything you can to be sent to prison — it is time to grow up.
"Put simply, if you can't handle alcohol don't touch it.
"The curfew will allow you to continue your work but keep you away from nights out on the pop."
He added: "If you breach this order, there will be no third chance."

A homeless woman begged a Good Samaritan to help her - but attacked and robbed him after he took pity on her during a night out in Cardiff

Kindhearted Simon Bishop, 22, bought Charlene Jones, 26, a sandwich and handed her a £10 gift after she told him it was her birthday.

But she then lured him back to her squat where she and her boyfriend Neil Osborne, 34, brutally attacked him.

A court heard the pair punched, kicked and headbutted railway worker Mr Bishop, before taking him to a cashpoint and making him withdraw £200.

Prosecutor Nicholas Jones said Mr Bishop was marched straight past his friends as he made his way to the cashpoint with the pair - but they couldn't recognise him because of the state of his face.

Jones and Osborne then left their victim slumped in the street in Cathays, Cardiff where he was eventually found by his friends.

Injuries were "ghastly"

Rhyl,North Wales - Concerns of 'anti-social' cyclists intimidating walkers at Rhyl Harbour

Published date: 28 April 2016 |

CONCERNS have been raised over anti-social behaviour on Rhyl Harbour at Horton’s Nose. 
Graham Copeland, aged 72 of Kinmel Bay, raised concern after witnessing a number of incidents along the harbour of cyclists intimidating walkers at the viewing point, claiming they have been riding at speed towards users of the area and shouting abuse. 
Mr Copeland said: “Trouble seeking cyclists are riding at speed towards pedestrians and doing wheelie's towards them.
“A cyclist tried to speed past a mobility scooter but clipped it and the cyclist fell over the small foot fence and fell on the sand dunes.
“The cyclist then got on his bike and chased the disabled woman, and used appalling language to the extent that the woman was left in tears. 
“There was a case last weekend where lads were racing around the boards and doing wheelies towards some lady dog walkers, and when the walkers complained to them about there behaviour, they were threatened with bad language and violence.
“There is many more incidents we have heard of including an off road motor bike being driven around the boards.
“Surely the cycles should be banned from being ridden around these pathways. There is a proper cycle path from Kinmel Bay to the Harbour Bridge and there is place a few hundred yards down the coast road were the cyclists can perform there tricks legally.
A spokesperson for Denbighshire county council said: “The issue we have is that it is almost impossible to prevent access to cyclists whilst allowing undeterred access to other users and in particular disabled buggies, wheelchairs and prams.
“In the past we have used a variety of gates e.g. radar lock access gates but with little success and believe a better option is signage clearly stating that cyclists are not authorised to ride on the boardwalk.
“However for this to be successful there needs to be a level of enforcement and I am hoping that this can be achieved by my small team in the Rhyl Office working closely with Officers at the Rhyl Harbour Office together with North Wales Police.”
Kinmel Bay councillor Darren Millar said: “Clearly this sort of behaviour is not acceptable and will stop people from coming to enjoy the area. This council and the police must stop this from happening.”
