A drunk shopper pushed an Asda store manager when he confronted him over the theft of wine and Port, a court heard. Anthony Hill and another man were seen acting suspiciously before the assault at the Asda on Victoria Retail Park, Memorial Avenue, Worksop.
Nottingham Crown Court was told staff heard bottles smashing, with Hill and the other man leaving with booze and not paying on March 16 last year. The store manager saw Hill holding two bottles of Rose wine in one hand and a bottle of Port in the other.
The manager decided to take one of the bottles from him - but Hill warned him not to touch him. Hill slightly pushed the manager and went towards him waving the bottle of Port in his hand and saying he was not afraid to hit him.
