A company director elbowed a man on the face in a case of apparent mistaken identity in a nightclub.

Bruce Campbell, 24, lashed out at Eihmin Hudson on the dance floor at Berkeley Suite in Glasgow's Charing Cross on July 2 2023.

Campbell, a director of a roofing company in Inverness, attacked barista Mr Hudson, believing that he had touched his girlfriend.

However, a friend of Mr Hudson told a court that it may have been another man in the victim's company who was to blame.

Mr Hudson was later treated for a burst lip and received five stitches.

Campbell was found guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assaulting Mr Hudson to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement.

Judicial Assistant at the UK Supreme Court, Daniel Graham, 25, gave evidence at the trial.

The lawyer claimed that he attended the nightclub with Mr Hudson and other friends.

The witness stated that Mr Hudson and Campbell, who they did not know, became involved in an "incident."

He stated that Campbell appeared "very aggravated" and "offish" while Mr Hudson was "friendly."

Mr Graham claimed that Campbell made a "come on" motion with his hands.

Prosecutor Kyle Dalziel asked the witness what happened after that.

Mr Graham replied: "On closing the distance [between them], he immediately struck Mr Hudson on the face with his elbow.

"Mr Hudson grabbed the side of his face and turned himself away from Campbell towards the wall.

"I then moved towards the pair and I shouted at Campbell and I don't know what he shouted back as I didn't hear what was said.

"He shouted back what seemed to be an explanation that Mr Hudson had been in some way pestering his girlfriend physically by physical touch or fell into [her]."

John Kilcoyne, defending, put it to Mr Graham that it was Mr Hudson who moved towards his client and he put his elbow up which resulted in an "accident."

The witness replied: "No, it was Campbell who closed the distance, Mr Hudson did not close the distance.

"I remember distinctly that Campbell was the one who moved his elbow outwards."

Mr Hudson and Mr Graham's other friend told the court in his evidence that they had attended the nightclub with a Joe Webster.

Masters student Findlay Biok, 24, stated: "Prior to the incident, we wee helping our friend Joe downstairs.

"Once we were on the dancefloor, he stumbled into Campbell's female friend.

"Campbell presumed that it was Mr Hudson had attempted to touch up one of his friends."

Mr Dalziel asked if Mr Hudson touched any woman and Mr Biok replied: "No."

Sentence was deferred pending background reports until next month by Sheriff Anna Reid who ordained Campbell to appear meantime.
