Munro later punched PC Gray and head butted him while PC Wales had her thumb bent as well as had her arm chewed.
Munro pleaded guilty yesterday at Glasgow Sheriff Court to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.
He also admitted assaulting PC Wales and PC Gray to their injury.
The court heard that Munro had been aggressive towards dad Joseph and mum Marion, 60 after he refused to leave their property while drunk.
A 999 call was made and PCs Wales and Gray attended to find Munro shouting at Joseph.
PC Grey took hold of Munro's arm when he said: "What the f*** you doing, I will punch the f*** out of you."

Munro made further threats and the officer sent out a serious assistance message on his radio.
PC Gray struck Munro to the head which caused a heavily bleeding wound.
Prosecutor Lauren Donnelly said: "Munro took control of PC Wales' right thumb and bent it back causing serious pain at the time.
"During the struggle, Munro ended up on top of PC Gray and threw several punches towards him with many connecting with his right cheek.
"While he was bleeding, Munro struck a head butt on PC Gray to the side of his face causing his blood to connect with the officer's face and eye."
He then bit PC Wales on the left arm when she tried to separate the pair but her skin was not pierced.
She then kicked Munro and struck him with spray before he was eventually handcuffed.
The officers were later taken to hospital.
PC Wales was found to have tenderness, swelling and bruising to her thumb.
She was given a wrist splinter and thumb extension.
PC Gray had to take four days off from work due to shoulder pain.
Garvey McArdle, defending, told the court: "He was intoxicated and accepts that his behaviour was reprehensible and requires to be punished.
"His mother was a senior nurse and his dad was involved with CPN - they are educated people.
"Mr Munro is involved in the plumbing trade and was working with MacGregors but he was not working during lockdown."
Sentence was deferred pending background reports until next month by sheriff Martin Jackson QC.
He said: "It strikes me this is a very serious matter involving the assault to injury of two police officers just doing day to day work."
Munro, who appeared from custody, had his remand continued meantime.
