A thug hit a bouncer over the head with a stool in "a moment of madness" outside a city bar.
On March 6 of this year, James Preston tried to assault a bouncer outside Fitzgeralds Bar, on Slater Street. During the incident, he was hit over the head with a bar stool by a bouncer.
The doormen and Preston’s colleague, John O’Keefe, who had initially been trying to help the door staff, then threw stools at each other and Preston threw a table into the bar. Liverpool Crown Court heard police were nearby dealing with an unrelated incident and they rushed around to arrested the two men, who both work as stone fabricators for a kitchen company.
