Staff asked Jordan Anderson to leave the Manners pub, on Matlock Street, Bakewell on July 1 last year after he allegedly fought with a customer.

An off-duty officer was in the pub at the time and escorted Anderson from the building. When they got outside, Anderson pushed the officer into the road as a lorry drove past.
