An underage drinker dressed as a Dalmatian attacked four students in Falmouth town centre, before going on to punch another man while on bail, a court heard.

Sonny Junior Cocks, aged 18, pleaded guilty to five counts of assault at Truro Magistrates’ Court last Thursday.

In two separate incidents, spaced three months apart, he drunkenly attacked five people in Falmouth town centre.

At the time of the assaults, Cocks, of Footes Field, Truro, was aged just 17 and he made the second attack while on bail.

The CCTV footage used in court shows Cocks, accompanied by a man in a tutu and another dressed as Scooby Doo, staggering through town and chasing his victims as they fled for safety.
