A background report had been called for.
The court heard he struck one employee on the head and attempted to punch him and attempted to butt the second on the head and attempted to punch him also. It followed a complaint by other concerned customers that Hunter had been staring at them and they felt threatened.
Defending, Samantha Morrison said: "He does feel bad that this occurred."
