Bill Ramsay, 82, was left bloodied and bruised after being battered by Adam Talbot in his eighth floor flat in Farsley, Leeds, on Friday night.
Talbot was arrested and later admitted assault.
Under new rules, he agreed to pay £150 in compensation and write Mr Ramsay a letter of apology and was banned from going near his flat again. If he fails to comply, he will be taken to court.
This is an absolute joke!!! How can a couple in Edinburgh get 12 months and 9 months respectively for behaving in a threatening or abusive manner and someone who ASSAULTS an 82 year old man get a slap on the wrist?
Mr Talbot is still employed by West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, we need your support to make sure this man is sacked and justice is served!!!

£150 compensation...... bill ramsay might not be able to step foot out of his home again with the fear of it happening again........
cant understand how a young man could do that to a old man and cant believe he only gets a telling off n afine!
Should know better and if West Yorkshire fire service use they heads don't need anyone like this working for them just no need at all
Disgusting! This poor man deserves justice to be done. He fought for his country, now time for the country to look after him.
im disgusted with West Yorkshire police. I'm a 70 year old pensioner and no longer feel safe in my own home.
....
There is no credible reason why this has happened. The guy needs to pay for what he has done.
