A drunk man went into a Glasgow takeaway talking about fighting before picking up a cabinet and throwing it at a freezer.

George McAvoy entered a takeaway restaurant on Broomfield Road in Barmulloch at around 9.10pm on July 8, 2024.

Staff working at the premises saw McAvoy open and close the front door. He was intoxicated and speaking incoherently about fighting.

McAvoy then fell to the ground and stayed there for around 10 minutes. He became agitated and kicked a door frame.

Whilst standing up he pulled a storage cabinet down causing it and the electrical items stored on it to fall to the ground.

McAvoy then picked up the cabinet and threw it at a glass freezer which caused the cabinet to smash into a number of pieces on the floor.

He walked behind the counter and into the kitchen where staff were working. Employees at the takeaway went outside of the building for their safety and contacted police.

McAvoy continued to act in an erratic manner and removed his jumper.

Officers attended and found McAvoy lying on the floor behind the counter.

Cops saw the glass door and glass on the front window was cracked as well as a number of items on the floor.

At around 9.35pm McAvoy was cautioned and charged. He was taken to a police vehicle where checks showed he was in breach of bail conditions.

During the journey to London Road police office McAvoy shouted and swore at officers stating “p**f b******s”.

He was further cautioned for this offence but he continued to act in an aggressive manner shouting, swearing, and uttering threats towards police.

McAvoy, of Barmulloch, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court for sentencing recently after pleading guilty to two charges.

The first was shouting, swearing, and acting in an aggressive manner, kicking a glass door, causing damage to a glass window, causing a cabinet and electrical items to fall to the ground, seizing a cabinet and throwing it towards a glass freezer, entering the kitchen area without permission, repeatedly uttering offensive and derogatory remarks and threats of violence towards police, and refusing to desist in his behaviour when requested to do so.

The second was breaching bail conditions without a reasonable excuse.

McAvoy’s lawyer told the court that his client had no recollection of the incident but accepted that he was there.

Sheriff Simone Sweeney tagged McAvoy for 80 days keeping him indoors from 7pm to 7am.

He was also placed on a community payback order with social work supervision for 12 months.
