A MAN has been jailed for 15 weeks for attacking another man outside an Edinburgh pub.

Bradley Colborne assaulted Mark Ronaldson by punching him to the head whereby he fell to the ground at Biddy Mulligans pub at the city’s Grassmarket on March 22.

Colborne, of Fa’side Avenue, Tranent, pleaded guilty to the offence when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in July and was due to be sentenced the following month.

But the 22-year-old failed to show up to court on two occasions and a warrant was issued for his arrest in September.

He appeared in the dock from custody last week, where Sheriff Christopher Dickson sentenced him to a 15-week prison term.
