"We say Kevin Upson was involved in a violent incident with another male and offered unlawful violence."
Upson, of Ringstone, Duxford, was bound over to keep the peace for six months in the sum of £500, and told he must not use unlawful violence.
He had earlier denied a charge of threatening behaviour, and that was dismissed.
