Brown was given ten-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, and told to pay £1,500 compensation to the victim

He was also ordered to do 100 hours of unpaid work and was made the subject of an electronically monitored curfew for three months,

"You punched him forcefully and repeatedly to the face and to the head.

"The CCTV footage, while not the best quality, shows that you are substantially more powerful and bigger."
