A man has been sentenced for affray committed during a violent disorder in Bristol city centre.
Jacob Dolphin, 24, of Weston-super-Mare, admitted the offence and was given an 18-month community order and a fine at Bristol Crown Court on 23 October.
He was seen kicking out at officers on five occasions and threw an object outside Bridewell Police Station during the incident on 3 August 2024.
Judge Peter Blair described the violence during the riot as some of the worst seen in the city’s history. Dolphin was fined £900 in addition to a £95 surcharge, and was told to complete 170 hours of unpaid work.
