A man punched a stranger and chased him down a Glasgow street.

Ryan Green was in a doorway on Union Street in Glasgow city centre at 7.50pm on September 20, 2023.

He was approached by Jack Neasham and they started talking.

Shortly after, Neasham turned aggressive and assaulted Mr Green by kicking and punching him.

Mr Green left the doorway and ended up on the ground.

Neasham continued to argue with him, then chased him down Union Street before Mr Green took refuge in a cafe on Gordon Street.

Police were called, and Neasham, of Ayr, was traced and arrested.

The 27-year-old appeared in the dock at Glasgow Sheriff Court from custody earlier this week after he pleaded guilty to the assault.

His lawyer told Sheriff Mary Shields: "He has a limited recollection due to intoxication. He was homeless at the time.

"The complainer was not known to him, the cause of this remains a mystery.

"He had struggled in his twenties with mental health and alcohol.

"He is remanded on a sheriff court matter and he is subject to two community payback orders. He is progressing well and stopped taking substances."

Naesham was sent to prison for six months.
