A detective sergeant said the victim was being "escorted" out of the premises and had a verbal altercation with a doorman. "A member of the public who was sober arrived and noticed he was in need of assistance," the detective said. He told the court his client wept during police interviews, "was extremely distressed" and "wants to offer his sympathies" to Mr Law's family.
