An Aberdeen thug threatened to kill cops and then jumped in the air and stamped on an officer’s foot.
Steven Lawson, 27, appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court for sentencing having previously pled guilty over the incident at his address on Rosehill Drive, Aberdeen, on March 13.
Fiscal depute Alan Townsend said police were called after Lawson was heard “shouting and banging” on the communal landing shortly after midnight.
He continued to cause a “commotion” when police arrived and was restrained and cuffed on the ground before he began “threatening to kill the officers”.
Mr Townsend said: “Without warning, the accused jumps in the air and, using both feet, stamps on the officer’s left foot before being restrained to the ground again.”
