A thug knocked out a woman in a sickening one-punch attack outside McDonald's.
Joshua Hurford, 22, punched Kirsty Louise Bowers in the face after the pair had been rowing following a night out in Swansea, South Wales.
Prosecutor Julie Sullivan told Swansea Magistrates' Court the victim had been out in Wind Street with a friend when an altercation took place involving Hurford and his friend.
Miss Bowers could not remember much concerning the initial incident as she was intoxicated at the time, the court heard.
At 2.05am all four were outside McDonald’s when a further confrontation took place culminating in Hurford punching Miss Bowers in the face, knocking her unconscious and causing her to fall to the pavement, reports Wales Online .
CCTV footage played in court initially showed Hurford walking away from the area in the direction of Princess Way before stopping and striking Miss Bowers.
Police arrived at the scene and arrested Hurford. He was later interviewed and he admitted punching her to the face, adding he was “provoked” by her.
