Thugs decked by transvestites

Two drunken thugs have learnt a lesson after the pair of cross-dressing men they attacked turned out to be cage fighters in fancy dress.

Haplesss Dean Gardner, 19, and Jason Fender, 22, were floored by their intended victims after picking on them in a random attack.

The amazing scene was captured on CCTV in the centre of Swansea, Wales.

The footage shows a bare-chested Gardner brazenly marching up to one of the 'victims' who was wearing hot pants and a pink wig.

Puffed-up Gardner, followed by Fender, runs up to the innocent reveller, who was dressed up for a stag party, and punches him in the face.

But the victim's friend, - wearing a short black dress, stockings and suspenders - suddenly appears behind them felling them both with two devastating punches.

The men in drag leave the dazed yobs on the ground - scooping up their handbags as they head off down the high street.

Gardner and Fender then attempt to get up but are so concussed they weave along the street nearly bumping into a phone box.

To make matters worse the pair are eventually confronted by police while nursing their injuries and are arrested.

The sorry saga was revealed at Swansea Magistrates Court where the pair both pleaded guilty to using abusive words and behaviour.

The court heard that prior to the dust-up with the cage fighters the yobs had got into a fight with a man dressed in a spideman costume.

Magistrates handed them a community order each and they were given an electronic tag.

Mark Davies, defending the pair, said they had been drinking cocktails and that Fender had downed at least 10 pints of cider.

"Unfortunately they were extremely drunk, and you know it cannot have been a good night when you get into a fight with Spiderman and two cross-dressing men," Mr Davies said.
