An Armagh man has been spared immediate imprisonment after pushing another man in a pub smoking area, causing him to fall and suffer a head injury.

The man received a suspended prison sentence and was ordered to pay £500 compensation. The case was reported by Armagh I.

What the court heard

The source report states that the incident happened in a pub smoking area and involved one man pushing another. The injured man fell and suffered a head injury.

Because the prison sentence was suspended, the man did not receive an immediate custodial sentence. The compensation order means £500 must be paid to the person who was injured.
