A DRUNKEN man dropped his trousers and pants in front of horrified children outside a village hall.

When a youth tried to intervene, he was punched in the face and then struck three more times on the ground.

At Southampton Crown Court, Mark Mcauley, 23, of Lydgate Road, Thornhill, admitted outraging public decency, assault and being drunk in charge of his children. He received a four-month suspended sentence coupled with 18 months supervision and 150 hours community service.
