An Irish man has been slapped with a hefty fine of 1,000 euros for attacking an Indian restaurant owner on his refusal to serve alcohols to him, according to a media report.
Eamon O'Connor and another man refused to leave Bombay House restaurant and head butted Happa Singh after he was told that the premises was no longer serving alcohol as it was after 11.30 pm on a Sunday.
Singh gave both men cans of Coca-Cola, but they continued to demand alcohol. When O'Connor was leaving, he lunged towards the owner and attempted to headbutt him and slight contact was made, The Herald reported.
O'Connor pleaded guilty at Balbriggan District Court to assaulting Singh on September 21 last year.
Judge Conal Gibbons ordered the defendant to make a payment of 1,000 euros to Singh and adjourned the case until October 22.
