Accrington boxer punched woman in nightclub
9:53am Wednesday 18th January 2012 in Accrington
A BOXER who attacked a woman in a nightclub walked free from court, but was warned by a judge to grow up.
Burnley Crown Court heard how drunken Aidan Whittle, 19, punched Gina Flanagan, giving her a bloody nose and swollen eye, in a Burnley club as she was on the dance floor with her partner.
Whittle had tried to put the victim in a headlock, she had pushed him away and he then hit her.
Whittle, of Kings Highway, Accrington, admitted assault.
He was sent to detention for 20 weeks, suspended for 12 months, and must pay £250 compensation.
Judge Beverley Lunt said the boxer knew drink was dangerous as he lost his inhibitions.
