The altercation resulted in a section 20 assault, accompanied by a fine, handed down at Exeter Magistrates’ Court. He was also convicted of a military offence for violence to a superior officer of which no other details emerged, with his past convictions for serious violence coming between the ages of 18 and 22.

Liverpool parade attacker Paul Doyle shouted "move" and swore in his car as he ploughed into a crowd during the celebrations. Doyle hit more than 100 people in the space of two minutes on 26 May and was only stopped after a bystander managed to get inside the automatic vehicle and forced its gear selector into 'park' mode.
