He'll be sentenced next month

After pleading guilty to the assault of a security guard at Good Life Festival Perth, 18-year-old Martin Fulton has reportedly been jailed for breaching his bail by leaving the country.

As WA Today reports, Fulton – who was last month charged with assault occasioning bodily harm and trespassing - failed to complete a pre-sentencing assessment as he had left the country with his family for a wedding.

Fulton will be sentenced on August 2 for jumping the fence at Good Life Festival Perth in February and kicking security guard Michael Rigby in the head.

Phone footage of the incident at the under-18s event went viral on social media, and Rigby told 9 News the brutal attack the “actual impact rocked my whole head so all the muscles in my neck are all sore and it runs down to my shoulder".
