A man who hit a security guard because he thought a woman was in danger has been given a community punishment order.
Richard Killin, 38, was at Orchard Caravan Park in Clacton, on May 15 when he saw security guards trying to remove a woman from the bar area and went to help her.
He went over and slapped one of the guards three times in the face, Colchester Magistrates' Court heard.
Killin admitted a charge of common assault.
Alex McBride, mitigating, said Killin hadn't realised the woman was drunk and thought she was trying to get to her children.
Killin, of Fyfield Road, Rainham, was ordered to complete a 60-hour community punishment order and pay Mr Metcalfe £50 compensation.
