Brown, 37, pleaded guilty to affray in July and was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court after his co-defendant, Omololu Akinlolu, was also given a suspended sentence of four months. Judge Tony Baumgartner stated that Brown played a \"leading role in this joint offending\" and used a bottle as a weapon, causing significant injury to Diaw.",
