A man has appeared in court facing more than a dozen charges of smearing poo on doors and lifts in an Aberdeen block of flats.
Husein Sharif, 38, appeared from custody at Aberdeen Sheriff Court in relation to the alleged offences, which took place over the course of a month at Hutcheon Court.
Sharif, who also lives in the high-rise building, is alleged to have committed 14 breaches of the peace by “depositing faecal matter” on the front doors of his neighbours, communal doors and lifts.
The alleged offences were committed between June 2 and July 3.
Assessment order
Sharif also faces a 15th charge, of possession of a pair of scissors.
The case against him was continued without plea while Sheriff Eric Brown made an assessment order to look into Sharif’s mental health.
A review of that order was scheduled for next month.
