A Pembroke man has been told by a judge he behaved like a drunken clown when he armed himself with a bottle and attacked two other night club goers.

Conor Carter, aged 23, was caught on CCTV cameras picking up a bottle, putting it into a pocket and then hanging around outside Paddles night club in Main Street.

Swansea crown court heard that violence flared when Jonathan Dale Brown and Robert Crocker emerged.

Carter, of Strongbow Walk, admitted wounding Mr Brown, assaulting Mr Crocker causing him actual bodily harm and possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.

Brian Simpson, prosecuting, said about 1.40am on January 10 there had been an altercation between Carter and Mr Crocker, aged 30, outside the gents inside Paddles.

As Carter left the club he was filmed picking up a bottle, emptying the contents and putting it into his trouser pocket and for the next 10 minutes waiting outside.

Mr Brown, 29, was ejected by door staff, and at one stage fell to the ground as he struggled to get back in.

Mr Simpson said Mr Crocker and Mr Brown approached Carter and appeared to lunge towards him before Carter hit out with the bottle.

Mr Brown suffered two cuts to his head and a permanent scar to his face.

Mr Simpson said the CCTV footage showed Carter running down the street being pursued by Mr Brown and Mr Crocker and several other people.

Judge Paul Thomas, after viewing the footage, said he doubted the Wales Tourist Board would be using it "any time soon."

Judge Thomas said he noted that Carter already had a conviction for violence in January, 2015.

He said it was clear that Mr Brown had been "spoiling for a fight" that morning but Carter had acted like "an aggressive, drunken clown who once again picked up a weapon."

Judge Thomas reminded Carter that a bottle could cause fearsome injuries when used as a weapon.

Carter was jailed for 12 months suspended for 12 months. He was also ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work for the community and to attend 15 rehabilitation sessions, as well as paying a £100 government surcharge.
