Lee Carrol, of Seafield Place, attacked the woman inside Club Tropicana, South Ward Road, during the early hours of March 1. The 30-year-old shouted: “Get out my face or I’m going to headbutt you,” to which the woman replied: “Go ahead.” He then headbutted the woman on the nose which caused her to bleed. Dundee Sheriff Court Carrol previously pleaded guilty at Dundee Sheriff Court to carrying out the assault. Defence solicitor John Boyle said that Carrol did not remember the incident and has suffered significant mental health problems. Sheriff Alastair Carmichael said: “It’s a serious offence. “You do not have a record and the report is quite positive. You have demonstrated remorse for this.” Carrol was placed on supervision for 12 months and ordered to perform 120 hours of unpaid work as an alternative to a custodial sentence. >>Read more of the latest court news by clicking here This article originally appeared on the Evening Telegraph website.
