A man smashed a glass bottle off his cousin’s friend’s head and then hit him in the face with a dumbbell.
Dundee Sheriff Court heard 35-year-old Michael Smith carried out the violent attack on Stephen Laird, 18, in his cousin’s home.
They had been drinking with a group of others at Smith’s cousin’s home on East High Street, Forfar, on June 27.
Depute fiscal Eilidh Robertson told the court that later that evening, Smith’s mother came to the house and was “upset and under the influence of alcohol”.
She dropped her mobile phone and it fell under the couch, before leaving with Smith and without her mobile phone.
A short time later, she returned and retrieved her phone.
However, she had already told Smith her phone was missing.
The fiscal said: “The accused entered and shouted that his mother was upset.
“He picked up a glass bottle and threw it and it smashed off the floor. He then picked up another bottle and threw it and it smashed off the complainer’s head.
“The accused then went into the bedroom and re-emerged with a dumbbell, which he used to hit the complainer on the face.”
Smith shouted that he had a knife and would stab whoever took his mother’s phone.
Smith, a prisoner at Edinburgh, admitted assaulting Stephen Laird by striking him on the head with a bottle and striking him on the face with a dumbbell at a property in East High Street, Forfar, on June 27 while on bail.
Smith was jailed for 192 days.
