A former police officer flew into a rage and tried to bite and punch a constable after he was asked to leave a nightclub.
Drunk Daniel Whyment was on a stag do in Newcastle city centre when he was told by security to get out of Popworld. But the 41-year-old took exception to the request and quickly turned violent, swinging a punch at one of the door staff, a court heard.
Whyment's behaviour was witnessed by a police officer, who tried to help and intervene. However, Whyment also tried to strike the officer and, while being arrested, attempted to bite him, Newcastle Magistrates' Court was told.
