[2012] EWHC 605 (Admin)

Where an appellant had struggled whilst restrained by nightclub doormen, a magistrates' court was entitled to convict him under the Public Order Act 1986 s.4(1) on the basis that he had intended to cause the doormen to believe that he would use unlawful violence against them unless they released him.
