A man who assaulted a teenage boy during an incident outside a secondary school has been fined £290.
Darren Hurrel, 21, turned up outside Larkhall leisure centre in Lanarkshire to hand out leaflets and was surrounded by a group of pupils. Footage, which went viral online, showed pupils from nearby Larkhall Academy launching plastic bottles and cans towards Hurrel as anger grew.
He lashed out at a 14-year-old boy who had sprayed liquid on him and knocked him to the ground before leaving the scene. A depute head teacher at the school had to usher Hurrel inside for his own safety while police were phoned.
