The anti social behaviour order will last for three years and bans Craig McDaid, 21, of Orton Hill, Ripley, from entering the area between 8pm and 6am.

Judge Amjad Nawaz was told violence broke out after another man had made an unpleasant remark in the takeaway on Wellington Street, Ripley on September 7.

The pair went outside and started pushing foreheads together, said Brenda Whittaker, prosecuting at Derby Crown Court.
The other man was punched in the face as McDaid's girlfriend tried to intervene.

The injured man needed stitches to cuts around a lip and eyebrow. The 22-year-old later told police that at the time he was in remission from leukaemia and was not in good health. He said that "his night out was ruined."

McDaid admitted assault causing actual bodily harm and must pay £400 in compensation to the victim.

A six-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, was imposed on McDaid who must also do 100-hours community work and remain at his home nightly for three months between 7pm and 7am.

As well as the ban from Ripley town centre every night, he must not enter that area at any time if he is drunk or carrying a can of alcohol. He must not hang around in a group of more than three people.

The judge accepted that the other man made the initial comment which led to violence but told McDaid: "As unpleasant as it may be, you will have to learn to curb your temper."

The court heard that McDaid had several previous convictions.
Quentin Robbins, defending, said McDaid would shortly be moving to his mother's home in Allestree, Derby.

Mr Robbins said: "At the time, he was living in Ripley with his father and brother, clearly a heavy drinking culture - and a culture which lead to his offending."

Jim Childs, a former police officer who deals with anti-social behaviour cases in Amber Valley, welcomed the outcome of the case.

He said: "It shows the police will not tolerate anti-social behaviour in the Ripley area. Strong action will be taken against anybody who has caused problems to people going about their lawful business or enjoyment."
