A CRUEL dad who threw a kebab in a homeless man’s face has been ordered to pay his victim £50.
Adam Thorpe, 29, admitted assault after he was filmed shoving the greasy night-out staple in the man’s face in Derby city centre on December 9.
Footage of the sick prank sparked outrage online – with Thorpe later admitting he was “bang out of order”.
He claimed he had actually offered the man £10 in return for throwing food at him – but the money was never handed over.
And Thorpe claimed he didn’t know the man – who was asking passersby for change – was homeless.
He appeared in Derby Magistrates’ Court on Monday where he was ordered to pay compensation.
AVOIDS JAIL
Thorpe also narrowly avoided jail as he is on a suspended sentence, Derbyshire Live reported.
Prosecutor Leanne Townsend explained: “The defendant walked up to him and said he would give him £10 if he could throw the box of food in his face.
“The victim made a throw-away comment, saying ‘give me the tenner then’.
“The defendant then pushed the food into the complainant’s face.”
Thorpe’s lawyer Nick Wright said his client “was sorry and regretted what he did.
“He spent a long time looking for the man afterwards.

“He received death threats from doing this. He accepts what he had done is wrong.”
Along with the £50 compensation, Thorpe must pay £170 in fines and costs.
He has also been ordered to carry out 80 hours of unpaid community service.
