A WAITER was left with a bloody nose after being headbutted by his attacker.
Andrew Gregson, 29, threw himself forward at victim Mark Sweet and butted him in the face, a court heard.
The waiter had been trying to restrain Gregson, who was angry, outside a Colchester fast-food restaurant.
“Gregson picked up a metal chair outside the restaurant and started to throw it around,” said Nicola Leppard, prosecuting.
“He threw it through a serving hatch at a member of staff,” said Mrs Leppard.
Kitchen equipment and a chair were broken in the November 5 incident.
Gregson admitted assault and criminal damage.
