News / Forced to pay for assault
A LATVIAN who assaulted his former partner after returning home drunk last year was ordered to pay £250 compensation at Lerwick Sheriff Court on Thursday.
Sergejs Davidenkovs, aged 28, admitted pushing the woman to the ground and punching her on the head to her injury when he arrived home at 17a St Magnus Street, Lerwick, on 11 December.
The court heard the assault took place after the woman refused to go out with him that night.
