The accused was charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, and possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace following an altercation with a bouncer at a nightclub.
The Crown alleged the accused struck the bouncer with a beer bottle unprovoked.
The accused claimed he was surrounded by bouncers, punched in the face, and struck the bouncer with his elbow in self-defence.
The court found the Crown witnesses' evidence inconsistent and unreliable, while the accused's testimony was credible.
The court held the Crown failed to disprove self-defence beyond a reasonable doubt and acquitted the accused on all counts.
