A man who punched a woman in the face outside a Perth hotel without any provocation whatsoever had been drinking for a full 24 hours before he attacked her, Perth Sheriff Court was told this week.
The court heard at the end of last year Ross Fenty (22), a prisoner at HMP Perth, admitted hitting the woman as she stood outside the New County Hotel Perth so hard she fell backwards onto the ground and later had to undergo a CT scan to check the severity of her injuries.
Fiscal depute Michael Sweeney told the court last December the victim saw Fenty approaching her with another male at around 11.20pm the night he punched her and that he “appeared to be under the influence of alcohol”.
