A young Brisbane ex-privately schoolboy "coward punched" a man on a date with his female friend at a popular nightclub before savagely bashing him with no provocation, a court has heard.
Former Iona College student Kalum Jai Gulliver-Brown, 21, of Lota, pleaded guilty in Wynnum Magistrates Court on Thursday to a single charge of assault occasioning bodily harm in a public place while adversely affected by an intoxicating substance.
The court heard the assault occurred at Fridays nightclub in Brisbane CBD in the early hours of November 22 last year.
The victim was on a date with a friend of Gulliver-Brown and was known socially to the defendant and had entered the nightclub about midnight, the same time as Gulliver-Brown and his friends.
