A NORTH YORKSHIRE man who organises events for controversial student pub crawl firm Carnage UK is facing jail after being convicted of punching unconscious a resident who voiced concerns about noise levels at one of the events.

Ryan Hilton, 23, attacked 61-year-old Mark Roberts during a late-night incident in Bangor, North Wales, in March last year, a district judge at Llandudno Magistrates Court ruled.

Mr Roberts, a commercial diver who lives in Bangor city centre and near to a number of student venues, earlier told the trial he had simply wanted reassurance that he would get a good night’s sleep.

But Hilton, a 6ft 4ins nightclub bouncer, of King Street in Filey, responded with a foul-mouthed outburst and punched the older man on the chin with such force he fell to the ground, banged his head and was knocked unconscious.
