A YOB who attempted to intimidate a young man asked his victim: "Do you want to fight a ned?"

At Glasgow Sheriff Court, Jye Rooney pleaded guilty to acting in an aggressive manner at Partick railway station on May 31 last year.

The 22-year-old admitted repeatedly shouting, swearing and uttering threats of violence, challenging a man to fight and striking a train window.

The fiscal depute told the court that Rooney's 22-year-old victim was travelling home after a day of work. The complainer became aware of the accused acting aggressively on the train platform, so moved away into a waiting area.

Rooney followed the complainer, but then turned his attention to two other males. He put his face up to one in a menacing manner.

The complainer intervened in an attempt to calm the situation down, however the accused threatened: "I will smash them and then I will smash you."

The complainer again tried to reason with Rooney, but was told: "You think you're better than me because you're wearing a suit."

The accused then spat on the floor.

After mimicking a punch in the complainer's direction, Rooney said: "Look how scared he is."

A female witness was asked to notify a station staff member, however the complainer's train arrived.

The accused followed his victim, goading: "Do you you want to fight a ned?"

Rooney then jumped off the train and struck the window as it pulled away from the platform.

The incident was reported to police. After the CCTV was viewed, the accused was identified and then traced.

In defence it was noted that since the offence Rooney has had a taste of custody.

Although his address was given as HMP Barlinnie, the accused was released in June and is now on a two-year order at Dumbarton Sheriff Court.

Rooney, who was supported in court by his mum, was praised for engaging and complying with the CPO and unpaid work.

Although his behaviour was branded "unacceptable", the sheriff was pleased with the accused's effort.

Rooney was sentenced to 50 hours of unpaid work, which will be added onto his current order.
