Racist thug sentenced to 120 hours unpaid work over assaults in Northamptonshire hotel

A racist thug who left one man with a bloody nose and attacked two more at a plush Northamptonshire hotel has been sentenced to 120 hours of unpaid work.

Ashley Fiume was arrested after the incident at the four-star Kettering Park Hotel on November 30, 2019.

The 36-year-old admitted all three assaults, one of which was found to be racially aggravated, when he appeared at Northampton Magistrates Court last week.

Police told the court Flume had been in the downstairs bar of the hotel at about 10pm when he attacked the men, punching two in the face and grabbing the other around the neck whilst aiming racist comments at him.

One of the victims was left with a bloody nose after being punched.

Magistrates told Fiume, of Brawn Drive in Raunds, he must complete 120 hours of unpaid work as part of his punishment of a community order.

He was also ordered to pay compensation totaling £225 — £100 to one victim, £75 to a second and £50 to the third.

Fiume must also pay prosecution costs of £620 and a surcharge to fund victim services of £90.
