A man put another in a headlock before biting his nose after a night out in Glasgow.
Kier Taylor, of Gallowgate, attacked Steven McBean at his home in the East End on November 29 last year.
The 30-year-old was sentenced at Glasgow Sheriff Court recently after pleading guilty to assaulting Mr McBean to his injury and behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.
The court heard that at around 1am that day, Taylor returned home after a night out along with a group of people, including Mr McBean.
After getting in, Taylor asked the group to leave, but they refused due to having nowhere to go and being unable to get a taxi.
An argument broke out, and Taylor went over to Mr McBean, grabbing him and putting him in a headlock.

Taylor shouted at the other people to get out and brandished an empty bottle of Buckfast at them.
Mr McBean tried to diffuse the situation; however, Taylor grabbed him again and bit his nose.
It was noted that Mr McBean suffered a small injury to the left side of his nose, a superficial wound that did not need medical attention.
This was reported to police, who immediately attended and found Taylor in the common close, where he was then arrested.
Taylor was taken to Cathcart police station but was not formally cautioned or charged due to his level of intoxication.
Sheriff Mark McGuire fined Taylor £353.
