Crystal Palace defender Ryan Inniss has been freed from prison despite admitting smashing a bottle over a fellow nightclubber's head during a drunken brawl.
The victim was left covered in blood after the early hours attack but on Monday the footballer successfully won an appeal against his 14-week sentence.
Inniss, 21, of Beckenham, was jailed at Bexley Magistrates Court last Wednesday.
He pleaded guilty to assaulting George Bryan by beating at Time nightclub Beckenham in the early hours of May 1.
