A MAN who undertook four “nasty” assaults in Aberystwyth involving spitting, punching and using a chair as a weapon has been jailed by magistrates.

Daniel Pinder, of no fixed abode, appeared before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 29 September.

The 22-year-old pleaded guilty to assaulting Farzad Asadinajad, Sabina Zlotucha and William Parry during an incident in Aberystwyth on 7 August this year.

Pinder also pleaded guilty to assaulting Sabina Zlotucha during a separate incident on 7 August, also in Aberystwyth.

The court heard they were “nasty incidents”.

Sentencing Pinder to 16 weeks in jail, magistrates, said that the offences were “so serious that only a custodial sentence could be justified”.
