Hide AdHarris, aged 27, of Fritchley Court, admitted criminal damage.
Chris Perry, mitigating, said: “He was burned and the wounds haven’t healed yet. By not removing his clothes at the time he made matters worse.
“He didn’t seek redress through the police. He acted on impulse. It’s not an excuse. He was provoked significantly.”
Harris was handed a six-month conditional discharge which means no action will be taken today, but the matter can be re-sentenced if he offends again within that time.
He was ordered to pay £100 compensation to Mansfield Council.
