A Stirling man broke a metal pole in half during a disturbance outside a town address involving a crowd of people.
Stirling Sheriff Court heard this week that the incident, in spring last year, had taken place following the death of an occupant at a Colquhoun Street homeless flat.
Neighbour Kevin Dudgeon had admitted behaving in a threatening and abusive manner outside the address on April 29 last year and appeared for sentence at Stirling Sheriff Court on Wednesday.
