May sentence for man who was 'quick to resort to violence'

24-year-old was disorderly on licensed premises

A Douglas man will be sentenced later this year after admitting disorderly behaviour on a licensed premises.

Brian Graham Lowther, of Heather Crescent, got into an altercation with staff at 1886 Bar and Grill on Regent Street on 17 March.

The 24-year-old got involved when he witnessed another family being asked to leave the premises at around 6:45pm.

He was arrested around two hours later, on Loch Promenade, after a police chase.

At Douglas Courthouse Lowther told Magistrates he felt the family being ejected had 'done nothing wrong'.

But the court heard he'd been 'quick to resort to violence' with a staff member describing the incident as the 'worst behaviour he’d had to deal with whilst working at 1886'.

A social enquiry report has been requested before he next appears on 14 May – he’s been bailed until that date.
