Guilty Over Assault

Australia -- A 24-year-old man applied a sleeper hold during a fight at a Melbourne fast food restaurant in July 2009. Recently, a court heard how the man was trained in martial arts and that he would have known the move would knock out his victim.

Three men, aged 22, 24 and 33 and all working as bouncers, pleaded guilty over the assault in Prahran that left a promising footballer with a fractured skull.

The court was told the victim fell to the ground after he was released from the sleeper hold and hit his head, according to foodweek.com.au.
