A man who challenged police in Aberdeen to a fight has apologised to the officers in court, telling them: “They were only doing their job.”
Jamie Gent, 31, was on Castle Street, Aberdeen, at 4.45am on May 30 this year when he was acting so aggressively, worried passers-by called police, Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard.
When officers attended, he challenged them to a fight and acted in an agitated way, so was arrested.
Gent, whose address was given in court as Fairhurst Drive, Hawick, admitted a charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner in that he shouted, swore, gestured offensively and uttered offensive remarks.
