Yep someone from where I work got sacked for this, but it fell under workplace bullying. If he hit someone outside of work that has nothing to do with work then I don't know how you could.
If he was on the job when it happened or wearing a work uniform, or the old guy made a complaint directly to your work then maybe

I would have thought you could only get sacked from work by something youve done outside work if it directly impacted on your ability to do the job.
EG if you were a truck driver and you lost your license etc

or it directly impacted on the image of the company - i.e. bringing a business into disrepute. The local corner shop used by all the locals isn't going to keep an employee if they get arrested for kiddy fiddling for example. They'd lose their custom

someone who worked at our county council was also a bouncer and was in court for GBH, council asked him to hand his notice in due to the court case but could not sack him, had a right fucking bad time over it, dragged his name through the mud he went to court, was found not guilty, council never once appologised

out of work hours and not much can be done apart from a verbal or written warning that you expect better than this. how do you know this happened? is it a rumour or have you got any concrete proof!

Was he wearing any work clothing?
If he was in his standard clothing I think you have very very little chance of getting rid of him. Unless he is a very well known figure you would find it very hard to prove that he was harming the reputation of the company.
I don't think it would even be grounds for a written warning as it has nothing to do with the company.
Be very careful because if you sack him and its not lawful its now so much easier for them to come back at you and it will cost you a chunk of money.

Pretty sure its the complete opposite.
With tribunal courts, policies and legislation I'm convinced its almost impossible to get rid of someone unless they've majorly fucked up.

Is not reason to sack on its own.
You need to establish whether any resulting conviction hinders this guy's ability to do the job or his relationship with colleagues and customers.
Can be done but its nowhere near as simple as just sacking on the spot.

Because you are asking on here I am going to assume that your company does not have an HR department?
My suggestion would be to seek some legal advice from what ever legal resources your company has. Employment law is a bugger and you can easily land yourself in a tribual that could prove to be costly!
The few quid it costs to speak to a solicitor about this now could pay dividends later!
