An angry delivery driver dropped a woman’s Chinese takeaway on the floor then threatened to slap her.
Dundee Sheriff Court heard Bruce McLeod, 44, lost his temper after having trouble finding the woman’s address.
McLeod then punched a police officer on the face and head-butted another officer when they questioned him two weeks later regarding the offence.
Fiscal depute Trina Sinclair told the court the woman received a call from the accused having ordered a Chinese takeaway from Bamboo Express at 6pm on September 4 last year.
A few minutes later he knocked on her door and was immediately aggressive.
McLeod then dropped the takeaway on the floor and threatened to slap her. He threatened her again then left.
McLeod, of Grampian Gardens, admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner, at Esplanade, Broughty Ferry on September 4 last year.
He also admitted two charges of police assault and another charge of aggressive behaviour at Grampian Gardens on September 17 last year.
He was ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work in the community within a six-month period.
