An Ultimate Fighting Championship announcer grabbed a 14-year-old schoolboy by the neck after a Lime Bike was knocked over, blocking the pavement outside his £1.6million home.

Sports entrepreneur Andrew Friedlander, 51, was told by a Judge: 'It was not for you to act as the local vigilante to hold them to account' after he was convicted of grabbing the teen.

The £100,00 a year founder of 'The Sports Presentation Company' fought the charge, claiming he was acting in his civic duty and found himself surrounded by nearly a dozen teenagers.

He was convicted of assaulting the schoolboy outside the family home he shares with his wife and 17-year-old daughter on Hertford Avenue, East Sheen on November 25 last year.

The University of South Wales graduate was fined £2,500, with £650 costs and ordered to pay £250 compensation to the victim, plus a £1,000 victim surcharge.
