Two men were knocked to the ground by a cage fighter in drag after they picked a fight with his friend, a court has heard.

Dean Jonathan Gardner, 19, and Jason Andrew Fender, 22, were left dazed after picking on the wrong man during a night out in Swansea city centre.

A CCTV camera captured the pair involved in a large fight outside the city's Escape nightclub which involved a reveller dressed as Spider-Man.

After the melee dies down, the pair are then seen walking along Kingsway before Gardner decides to confront a man passing who was wearing black hot pants and a pink wig.

After throwing a punch at him, Gardner and then Fender are both floored in quick succession by another man in drag who was wearing a short black dress with stockings and suspenders.

A short time later, both men were arrested.

Swansea magistrates court ordered both men to carry out a four-month community order and pay prosecution costs of £85 each.
