Sentencing Jackson at Bradford Crown Court, Judge Jonathan Durham Hall QC told him he believed he was remorseful and shocked over the injury he caused.
“I think this whole incident has been terrifying for you, however, whatever was going on between you blokes you don’t hit someone so hard you break their jaw,” he said.
Jackson, was ordered to pay a fine of £1,000 and costs of £140.
