A Wigan man who admitted to launching an attack has received a community punishment.

Andrew Littler, 49, of School Way, Wigan, had previously appeared before borough magistrates to plead guilty to the assault by beating of Peter Rosbotham on August 4 last year and to failing to answer police bail in November.

Returning to court to learn his fate, he was ordered to complete a 12-month alcohol treatment programme and pay a fine, costs and a victim services surcharge totalling £319.
