"He wanted to fight,” said procurator fiscal depute Sean Iles. “He put his arms out and walked towards a member of the public.”

Defence solicitor Simon Hutchison said: “He’d had too much alcohol and had been evicted from the family home. He was drinking at the time and not coping.”

Sheriff Christopher Shead placed Brown, 28 The Tannnery, Tullibody, on a community payback order with the condition he complete 180 hours unpaid work within 12 months.
