A mental health campaigner who assaulted a man in the street after getting drunk at a Christening event was spared jail today.
John Macdonald, 30, was told by a sheriff that it was "sheer luck" he didn't cause serious injury to his victim, Kevin Goldie, 20, whom he attacked at the end of a night out.
CCTV of the incident in November last year (2021), played in court, showed Macdonald raining punches on Mr Goldie's head and repeatedly kicking the younger man on the body after he fell to the ground during the attack in Kerse Lane, Falkirk town centre.
