One of the incidents saw him reportedly plummet off a three-storey high building.

Steven Hay (41) failed to appear at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday after pleading guilty to being in possession of a knife in public at Castings Avenue, Falkirk on February 11 last year.

Defence solicitor Simon Hutchison said Hay had suffered a broken leg, a brain aneurysm and had jumped from a three-storey building and damaged his back.

"I don’t think he is fit for unpaid work,” added Mr Hutchison.

Sheriff Derek Livingston deferred sentence on Hay, from Stenhousemuir, continuing the case to Wednesday, July 13, stating it would be “quicker than a warrant” if Hay does decide to show up on the date.
