A man grabbed a shop worker, punched and headbutted him repeatedly after being told he could not exchange a fishing net.

David Furlong flew into a rage and assaulted the worker at a shop in Mill View, March, a court heard.

Furlong, 33, had demanded money from the till after being told the net he had broken himself could not be exchanged for a more expensive net from the shop.

He grabbed the man, punched him repeatedly to the head and face and headbutted him, causing bruising and swelling.

The worker gave Furlong £65 from the till, and he left.

David Furlong flew into a rage and assaulted the worker at a shop in Mill View, March, a court heard.

He was also given a five-year restraining order.

PC Stephen Elliot said: “Furlong behaved like a thug, unleashing a vicious assault on the shop worker who was just doing his job.

“The violence was completely disproportional and unprovoked, and the sentence handed down reflects the severity of the attack.”
