A MUSSELBURGH man has appeared in court to admit assaulting a supermarket employee.

Jayson Dodds, of Goose Green Avenue, threw a bottle at store worker Alban Sery at Sainsbury’s, Shandwick Place, Edinburgh, on November 6 last year.

Dodds also attempted to strike Mr Sery with the bottle, causing the man to fall to the ground, all to his injury.

The 22-year-old pleaded guilty at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last Tuesday.

Sentence was deferred to January 12 for social work reports to be prepared.
