A TEEN fired a bottle of Buckfast after he watched police officers question a man.
Robbie Graham, 18, was in the dock at Glasgow Sheriff Court for sentencing.
The court heard that Graham witnessed police officers question a man on another matter on Luath Street in Govan on February 17.
The teenager then began shouting, "f*** the police" and "f****** police scum".
He threw a bottle of Buckfast which hit a wall and smashed.
He picked up a second bottle of Buckfast which hit the window of a ground floor flat.
Graham admitted that he shouted, swore and threw a glass bottle against a wall.
He also accepted that he damaged the property of another by throwing a bottle at a window.
The teenager made off on foot and when police caught up with him at his home address on Shieldhall Road, he resisted arrested.
Graham admitted that he closed the door on a male police officer which struck him on the body.
He also struggled violently with two cops, and repeatedly kicked and struck his head against the interior of a police vehicle.
Graham's defence agent said his client seemed to have impressed social workers with the report that had been prepared for sentencing.
Graham was placed under supervision for a year and he was told to do 120 hours of unpaid work in the community.
