This is the moment a ‘bully’ launched pint glasses and bottles at a bar on Boxing Day.
Robert Anderson, 50, was branded a 'complete thug' and was told he behaved like the 'kid on the back of a bus' by staff.
The shocking episode unfolded shortly after he walked into the Bridgewater Packet pub in Eccles on Boxing Day, a court previously heard.

In footage shared with the M.E.N , Anderson can be seen launching the missiles at the bar where a member of staff is stood nearby.
As other punters try to move him away he goes back to the bar, picks up another glass and throws it forcefully at the bar.
Anderson can be seen remonstrating with members of the public before picking up another bottle and launching it towards the bar.
The member of staff behind the bar, who has been blurred for anonymity, can be seen backing out of the way to avoid being hit.
Bar staff said they thought Anderson had been barred because of a previous incident, but his friend promised they'd have one drink and wouldn't cause any trouble.
The barmaid told Anderson they could stay until the landlord returned in about half an hour.
Shortly after Anderson's partner arrived in the pub, he was overheard saying: "The cheeky c**** are saying I'm barred."
Anderson was also heard to say: "If I’m going to be in trouble, I might as well be in trouble for something serious.
