A MAN has been charged with using threatening behaviour after an incident in which a student suffered a fractured jaw.
The 21-year-old man told officers he was punched in Union Street, Plymouth, at around 3am on Wednesday, September 5.
Police appealed for witnesses to the alleged assault, which was reported to have begun outside the Crash Manor club and ended near The Venue.
Police said members of the public had "jumped in" to assist the injured student in the aftermath of the alleged incident.
Two men were arrested and bailed at the time on suspicion of assault causing grievous bodily harm.
Last week 18-year-old Nico Mancuso of The Broadway, Plymstock, was charged with using threatening behaviour on September 5, under Section four of the Public Order Act.
A second man, aged 23 and from Greenbank, was told that no further action would be taken due to lack of evidence.
Anybody with information is asked to call DC Pooley on 101 or Crimestoppers, in confidence, on 0800 555111 quoting crime reference EC/12/8498.
A MAN who was late for his trial is to be sentenced for a public order offence.
Plymouth magistrates were told Joshua Pickering, aged 20, was convicted in his absence of threatening behaviour towards two women. He had denied the offence from June 2.
Pickering, of Holmes Avenue, Efford, was arrested on a warrant and brought to the court in custody.
Magistrates ordered a probation report on his background. He was released on conditional bail to appear for sentence on January 9.

“Bad manners and Bad tempers is not compatable with driving a car.
Why? You can LOSE CONTROL and cause an ACCIDENT!
If this reported person is you - PLEASE, don't drive for everybody's safety.
A car is a dangerous weapon if used in the wrong way.”

“so he pulled out and drove slow in front of her...well the norm for this road is people driving too fast up the hill past the school and the small roundabouts that no-one takes any notice of.then she overtakes him.....on a piece of road that is on a brow of a hill next to a main junction.sounds like they are both as bad as each other.”

“Why do the media give these acts of sheer bad manners and bad temper a sort of justification by calling it road rage as if it's some sort of ailment? It is not it is just unacceptable behaviour.”
