A "steaming drunk" thug racially abused and attacked two bouncers after being thrown out of a bar, a court has heard. Rowland Lea threw punches and chairs before grabbing a metal pole and using it as a weapon - all the while shouting vile racial slurs. His friend Jordan Thomas then got involved in the fracas by pushing the door staff over a barrier.
A recorder described the violence which played out in front of members of the public on Swansea's busy Wind Street as a "disgraceful incident of public disorder", and he told both men they were old enough to know better.
Sian Cutter Cutter, prosecuting, told Swansea Crown Court that on the night on July 6 last year Lea and Thomas' brother were upstairs in the Savana bar on the city's Wind Street when, due to pair's aggressive behaviour towards a group of men sat at nearby table, staff asked them to leave. The men were escorted downstairs and out of the bar onto the street, and at this point 34-year-old Lea turned on two members of door staff.
