Former boxing champion Lee McAllister has been banned from Aberdeen city centre at night – and its pubs and clubs.
The Aberdeen Assassin was jailed earlier this month after assaulting a man in a kebab shop following a night out.
The 33-year-old broke Jonathan Hay’s jaw with a single punch after showing off behind the counter in Aberdeen’s Marmaris takeaway on Rose Street.
He had been on a night out with pals and had been drinking heavily before the offence happened on July 17.
He was locked up for nine months.
And today he was dealt another blow, as Aberdeen Sheriff Court granted the city council an antisocial behaviour order (Asbo) – banning him from the city centre, and its licensed premises, indefinitely.
The order, which will be in force between 7pm-7am, also instructs him not to act in a threatening or abusive manner towards residents.
Aberdeen City Council applied for the order, and today a spokesman said: “An anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) was granted at Aberdeen Sheriff Court that prevents Lee McAllister from accessing Aberdeen city centre between the hours of 7pm and 7am daily and prohibiting him from entering licensed premises.
“This follows a series of incidents of threatening and violent behaviour and intimidation of members of the public.
“The aim of these orders is to help reduce incidents of violence in the city centre and promote a safer environment for the night-time economy.”
In recent years the council has taken steps to stop offenders entering pubs in a crackdown on violent crime and disorder in the city centre.
Police and the local authority want to stamp out drink-fuelled assaults in the area where most of the pubs are based.
Inspector David Howieson said: “We welcome the decision to grant an ASBO today. Tackling violent crime within the city centre is a priority for the community policing team and our message to violent offenders is clear, this behaviour is absolutely not acceptable and together with partners we will ensure that those responsible are appropriately dealt with.”
McAllister, who has two previous convictions for assault, retired from the sport two years ago.
