Dad and son attacked pub staff and customers after being told they couldn't take pints outside

A father and son duo caused chaos in a pub after being refused permission to take their drinks outside. Scott Ball resorted to wielding a makeshift rock in a sock while his son Kurtis Ball headbutted the pub landlord.

The Balls entered the Eli Jenkins pub on Oxford Street, Swansea, Wales, at around 3.30pm on February 10, ordered lagers, and after being stopped from leaving with their glasses, insisted on their supposed entitlement to drink 'wherever they wanted'.

A confrontation ensued, with Kurtis Ball threatening to "have" the barman and Scott Ball threatening to stab people in the bar before producing a sock containing a rock which he started swinging at staff. Several customers attempted to intervene, one of whom was punched in the face during the chaos, while another used a walking stick to "intercept" the swinging sock, reports Wales Online.

Kurtis Ball then headbutted the barman in the face. Swansea Crown Court heard that the pair were eventually thrown out of the premises, and Scott Ball hurled his glass towards a customer, though it missed and shattered on the door, before the defendants walked away along Oxford Street towards Union Street. The police were summoned and the defendants were found a short distance away on Park Street where they were arrested.

Upon being detained, Kurtis stated: "All this because of my f****** father." In their subsequent interviews, Scott Ball responded "no comment" to all questions, while Kurtis Ball confirmed he had gone to the pub for a drink with his father but claimed he was unaware his dad was carrying a weapon.

Scott Ball, 44, with no fixed residence, previously admitted to affray and carrying an offensive weapon
