An industrial cleaner who battered a man who had thrown him out of his flat on a New Year's Day morning has dodged a jail sentence.
Connor Rennie, 23, left victim Aaron Wood, with a broken nose, two fractured ribs, a collapsed lung, and numerous cuts and bruises.
A court heard Rennie and Mr Wood -- a cousin of Rennie's girlfriend -- had been seeing in the 2020 new year with "no issues" at a pub in Tillicoultry, Clacks and at a house party with "no issues", but then moved on to Mr Wood's home in Cairnton Place, Tillicoultry.
