The man who viciously coward punched a teenager at Schoolies last year has heinously laughed and taken selfies outside of court after avoiding jail time.

Caleb Maraku was filmed brutally punching the 19-year-old victim in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast in the early hours of November 27.

On Friday 19-year-old Maraku was handed a 12-month good behaviour bond after pleading guilty to assault occasioning bodily harm.

He also pleaded guilty to breaching a banning order, as he was prohibited at the time from being in the area.

After leaving Southport Magistrates Court, Maraku was laughing and joking with reporters, attempting to take selfies for his 'fans'.

Maraku's sickening attack on the 19-year-old came as the victim and another man were exchanging words on Orchid Avenue.

The victim was backing away from the other man who kicked him, moments before the coward punch.

The teenager crashed to the tiled floor, rendering him unconscious. He was rushed to hospital with broken teeth, cuts to his head and bruising.

Maraku was in high spirits leaving the courthouse on Friday afternoon, telling his friend to 'take a picture' with the media scrum following him.

He told reporters to 'say hi' while attempting to take selfies and film them.

The 19-year-old laughed at his own jokes, smiled when asked if he was sorry and seemed more interested in having the moment documented.

The court heard Maraku, who is a father, had drunk eight Jack Daniels and coke cans.

His solicitor said he 'does not intend to drink again'.

The Magistrate described Maraku as a 'very lucky man', saying his disgusting attack 'could have ended in this person's death'.

He will be on probation for 12 months, not allowed to consume any drugs or alcohol during that period and was fined $361 to help pay the victim's medical bills.

Maraku was handed no convictions.
