Jason O’Neil, 26, previously admitted acting aggressively towards two women on High Street, Lochee, on November 8 last year before repeatedly shouting, punching and kicking a bin and throwing it against a window and causing damage to other items.
He also pleaded guilty to being in possession of Class B drug cannabis.

O’Neil, of Whitfield Gardens, previously appeared from custody at Dundee Sheriff Court where he was remanded to appear before Sheriff Alastair Carmichael.
