A TEENAGER hurled abuse at a passer-by outside a Huddersfield nightspot.
Now a court has fined Christopher Brandford more than £250.
It was told he verbally threatened a man near the Society club on Kirkgate early last Saturday.
Brandford, 18, appeared before Huddersfield magistrates yesterday and admitted a charge of threatening abusive words or behaviour.
Judge Jonathan Bennett heard that he was with a friend when another man threw a drink over the friend.
Brandford retaliated in his friend’s defence, shouting threatening and abusive language at the man, who shouted back.
Police arrested both.
Brandford, of Lower Thorpe Croft, Almondbury, who until recently was a landscaper, told the judge: “What I did by retaliating was wrong.
“I’ve got a very bad temper and because I’d been drinking that also influenced me.”
Judge Bennett fined Brandford £258.
He told him: “I give you credit for pleading guilty at the first available opportunity.
“But it was unacceptable behaviour, whatever may have been happening to you or your friend.”
