A MAN launched a chair at a double-decker bus after being kicked out of a pub in Glasgow city centre.
Craig Angus entered The Toby Jug on Hope Street and ordered a drink, but staff refused to serve him as they thought he was too drunk.
The 35-year-old became aggressive towards employees and started throwing his arms around. He shouted towards them as well as customers.

Angus appeared in Glasgow Sheriff Court last week, following the incident at 5pm on February 8, 2020.
Prosecutor Jennifer Sillars said: “Two employees approached the accused and asked him to leave.
“Both staff members started to escort him from the premises, and he began waving his arms around shouting ‘I’m going f*****g back in’ and ‘I’m going to f*****g batter that guy.’
“Staff continued to refuse him entry back in. They continued to observe the accused. He then turned around and picked up a chair from the beer garden area. He threw it at a double-decker bus, striking the window.”
Angus walked away with another man and police were contacted.
Officers traced him after being provided with a description and informed him he was under arrest.

He was conveyed to Stewart Street police office, cautioned and charged, and made no reply.
Angus’ lawyer said his client had been out celebrating his friend’s birthday.
He added: “He is thoroughly ashamed. He is in full-time employment.”
Sheriff Shona Gilroy ordered Angus, of Wishaw, to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work.
