A 25-year-old man has admitted assaulting two bouncers at Douglas bar the Front Porch in Duke Street.

Toby James Cross, of Laureston Terrace, Douglas, pleaded guilty to two counts of common assault while a third charge of disorderly behaviour on licensed premises was withdrawn.

He will be sentenced on September 10 after a probation report has been completed.

Prosecuting advocate James Robinson told the court that the assaults had occurred on February 21 on two working members of the door staff at the Front Porch.

The court heard that Cross has a previous conviction for resisting arrest in 2017.

Magistrates ordered that the report consider all sentencing options, including custody.

Bail was granted in the sum of £250 with conditions that Cross live at his home address and contact probation services.
