A thug, who was involved in a brutal fight with another man, was jailed today for 27 months.
Ross McAllister, 52, and Stephen Hall, 36, exchanged blows on Ashton Lane in Glasgow's West End on May 20, 2024.
Hall initially struck McAllister with a glass, which resulted in the altercation which left the latter man unconscious.
McAllister, of the city's Kelvinhall, pleaded guilty to assaulting Hall to his injury and was jailed by Sheriff Paul Reid.
Hall, of Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire, admitted assaulting McAllister to his injury and danger of life.
He was ordered to do 270 hours of unpaid work and was tagged for nine months, keeping him indoors between 7pm and 7am.
Marianne McGonagle, 33, of Dumbarton, West Dunbartonshire, who was also present and pleaded guilty to a similar charge, will be sentenced next month.
Horrific CCTV footage of the incident was shown to Glasgow Sheriff Court.
Hall and McGonagle were seen walking past Jinty McGinty's bar when McAllister ran out.

McAllister struck Hall to the back of his head with a glass and the pair exchanged punches.
McGonagle was also seen in the melee.
Eventually, McAllister lost consciousness and was on the ground and McGonagle repeatedly kicked him in the head.
She was taken away from the scene by Hall before the police arrived.
Prosecutor Darren Harty told the court that McAllister suffered a two-inch wound to the back of his head, which "bled profusely."
McAllister told officers that he was attacked with a glass and refused medical attention.
Michelle Skelly, defending McAllister, told the court that her client claims that he had been headbutted by Hall earlier that night.
He had been waiting for a start date for a new job in shipbuilding at BAE Systems.
Jonathan Paul, defending Hall, stated that his client acted under provocation but did not have a defence of self-defence "as he could have moved away."
Gerry Devaney, defending first offender McGonagle, said that the matter was "out of character" for her.
