A MAN has been fined for starting a fight at a children’s party in his own home.

Raja Nadir, of Hillside Road, Thornliebank, assaulted a young man on June 27, 2015.

The 40-year-old punched his victim in the head and body, and kicked him on the arm, causing injury, a court heard on Tuesday.

His solicitor told the court: “Mr Nadir is concerned about any implications of conduct may have had on his children.”

Sheriff Grant-Hutchison told Nadir the incident “must have been traumatic, upsetting and painful.” ..when a young man was struck by you.”

He was handed a fine of £250, and ordered to pay £300 in compensation.
