Professional snooker player Liang Wenbo has been fined after he was caught on CCTV hitting and kicking a woman in the street in a "sustained and deliberate" attack.

Footage captured the Chinese national and the victim in an argument in Sheffield city centre, and shows him pushing her against a wall and throwing punches towards her.

Wenbo, who is ranked 33rd in the world, was fined £1,380 and given a 12-month community order at Sheffield magistrates' court for a "domestic-related assault", the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.

A CPS spokeswoman said the alarm was raised in the early hours of 20 July last year by a 999 call from a woman who was screaming in distress.

CCTV from Charles Street in the South Yorkshire city captured Wenbo, 35, and the victim having what appeared to be an argument which culminated in Wenbo repeatedly hitting and kicking her.

The spokeswoman added: "Wenbo then dragged the woman to the floor and continued his assault, despite another man trying to intervene to stop him.

"Further footage from another CCTV camera showed Wenbo pushing the woman against a wall and throwing punches towards her."

Missed what sounds like a great match, was out on the piss in Coventry with a mate.

Tonights game is a bit hit and miss, but enjoyable to watch.

Hoping Higgins gets over the line.

Found tonight's match boring , now switching between boxing and golf

Unbelievable Jeff!!.

Incredible bottle, many a player would have crumbled that far behind and basically given up.

On his day he's untouchable.

 

I've never really been a fan , but he is fantastic ... must be favourite to win at Sheffield

I've always liked watching him, just has this ability to dig himself out of a losing situation where most others wouldn't. So much willpower. Best player in the world on current form.
