A street attack on a man as he ate a takeaway left him needing "some serious dental work", a court heard. A short CCTV clip showed the victim tucking into his food on a street corner and attacker Daniel Ball pushing him.
The contents of the man's takeaway tray were sent flying as he toppled to the ground as he was repeatedly punched and kicked. Andy Conboy, prosecuting at Nottingham Magistrates' Court, said the cost of the dental treatment and a week's loss of earnings for the victim came to some £5,600. "He needed some very serious dental treatment," added Mr Conboy.
Ball, wearing shorts, trainers and a red T-shirt, appeared before District Judge Leo Pyle on Monday (September 12). He pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm to the victim in High Street, Warsop, on July 4, 2021.
