Sourzac, unemployed, 31, of Douglas Avenue, North Shore, pleaded guilty to assaulting an emergency worker.

He was sentenced to a four weeks curfew from 7pm to 7am and ordered to pay the special constable £50 compensation with £85 costs plus £85 victims’ surcharge.

Prosecutor, Pam Smith, said police were called to the defendant’s sister’s home on February 17, at about 2am, where Sourzac was said to be smashing windows.

Police found him on a sofa in the front room waking up. Sourzac said he would not harm a female officer but would not treat the special constable, who he described as “a kid”, in the same manner.

After that he remembered nothing until he woke up in the police cells in a padded suit.
