Boaters in Nottingham said a fight on the water that left a man with a fracture to his face was a "one off". And members of wider boating community praised the camaraderie, saying it was rare for boaters to fight among themselves.
It comes after a fight between two men who were sat on their boats at Trent Bridge. The pair threw punches at one another and had a history of mooring arguments between them.
Nottingham Crown Court was told on Wednesday (March 30) that Neil Brice, who had been abused, got the better of his victim and repeatedly punched him on the ground, causing a fracture in his face on July 30, 2020. It left the injured man with depression and anxiety, and led him to make changes to his life.
