Brawly fine

A MAN has been fined £500 after brawling in the foyer of a Lerwick supermarket.

Eighteen year old Nathan Robertson, from Da Gaets, Culswick, Wester Skeld, set upon another man in the Co-op supermarket in Holmsgarth Road on 30 December last year.

Lerwick Sheriff Court heard on Wednesday that Robertson approached the man because he believed he had stolen his brother’s phone only days earlier.

At around midday, the 18 year old then began to repeatedly punch his victim, kicking him on the head to his injury.

Staff were forced to intervene to break up the fight, which left the man with “cuts and grazes”.

Fining Robertson, Sheriff Philip Mann said that he was prepared to give the young man a “chance to get his life in order and to reflect on his behaviour”.
