A disagreement between a man and a wife led to a "good Samaritan's" intervention causing her to lose a tooth.
The incident happened in Farraline Park bus station in the early hours of July 31, last year after Luke Thomson, of Alder Place, Culloden and his wife had been drinking.
Fiscal depute Shay Treanor told Inverness Sheriff Court that there was an altercation between the couple, followed by a struggle which the other woman tried to diffuse.
"During it, she was injured and lost a tooth," Mr Treanor said.
Defence solicitor John MacColl told Sheriff Ian Cruickshank: "My client's partner was acting erratically, there was a struggle during which the other woman intervened and he engaged in a struggle with her.
"She was acting as a good Samaritan."
Thomson admitted behaving in a manner causing fear and alarm and was ordered to pay his victim £300 in compensation.
