A chef who drank himself unconscious while lamenting the fact that Boris Johnson had won the General Election has been fined more than £1,000 for trying to urinate on a doctor.
Faris Hussein and his workmates were drowning their sorrows over fears that they might be deported following news of the Conservative landslide on December 12 2019.
Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard the 37-year-old got so drunk an ambulance was called to take him to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI).
When a doctor went to check on Hussein the following morning he found him urinating in the ward.
Hussain then turned and tried to urinate on the doctor.
He was later seen standing naked at the foot of his bed and exposing himself to the hospital ward.
Hussein’s solicitor told the court his client was “disorientated” and “didn’t know what was happening”.
Fiscal depute Lewis Devoy told the court that Hussain had been admitted to ARI due to “significant alcohol intoxication”.
He said that as a doctor attempted to wake Hussein he appeared to be “frustrated”.
“The accused then got up and pulled down his clothing and began to urinate in the bay of the ward,” Mr Devoy added.
“The accused was offered a cardboard bottle but then turned and attempted to urinate on the doctor’s person.
“He managed to avoid the urine and urged him to desist, however, the accused then told the doctor to ‘drink my f**king p**s’.
“The accused was then coaxed back into his bed.”
When the doctor next returned to check on Hussein he brought along a security guard and both men witnessed him get out of bed and stand at the foot of it fully naked.
After once again coaxing him back into bed the police were called and Hussein was taken into custody.
Hussein admitted one charge of assault by attempting to urinate on his doctor at ARI.
A ‘morbid celebration’ took place following UK election
Defence agent Peter Keene told the court that Hussein had been drinking with Romainian work colleagues on the night of the general election.
He said: “His colleagues at the restaurant where he worked believed that they would all have to leave the country.
“It was a kind of morbid celebration that took place at someone’s flat.
“Mr Hussein enjoys a drink but not to the extent that his colleagues did and he quickly became unconscious and an ambulance was called to take him to accident and emergency.”
In relation to Hussein attempting his urinate on his doctor, Mr Keene said that his client “accepts that the actions took place” and is “very sorry”.
Sheriff Morag McLaughlin told Hussein he was facing a “substantial financial penalty” over his behaviour.
“A doctor performing a public service does not deserve to be treated like that,” she added.
Sheriff McLaughlin fined Hussein, of Sunnyside Road, Aberdeen, a total of £1,125.
