A MAN attacked four of his friends — after they shaved off one of his eyebrows at a party.
Dundee Sheriff Court heard that Colin McComiskie, 22, punched, slapped and pushed his friends when he awoke to find one of his eyebrows missing.
The court heard the attack took place after McComiskie, of Tannadice Court, had drunkenly fallen asleep at his friend Craig Nicoll’s home at The Aspens.
Friends Michael Ringsell, Kyle Patterson and Stacey Patterson were also there and the group drank alcohol together.
Fiscal depute Muhammad Sadiq told the court: “The accused had fallen asleep and when he woke up at 5am he noticed one of his eyebrows had been shaved.
“He became angry and aggressive towards all witnesses in the room.
“He assaulted Mr Ringsell, repeatedly punched him on the head and body and knocked him to the ground.
“Mr Nicoll attempted to stop him but the accused punched him on the head.
“Mr Patterson attempted to speak to the accused and asked him to calm down but the accused slapped him and punched him on the head.”
Ms Patterson also attempted to intervene but McComiskie pushed her, causing her to fall to the floor.
Solicitor David Duncan, defending, said: “He was due to go to work that day and when he awoke to find his eyebrow missing, he was worried he would lose his job.
“That, together with the amount of alcohol he had consumed, caused him to react in this way. He accepts he shouldn’t have reacted like that.”
McComiskie admitted four charges of assault, all of which took place on April 19, at a property on The Aspens.
He admitted assaulting Michael Ringsell by repeatedly punching him on the head and body and knocking him to the ground.
McComiskie also admitted assaulting Craig Nicoll by punching him on the head.
He further admitted assaulting Kyle Patterson by repeatedly slapping him and punching him on the head.
And he admitted assaulting Stacey Patterson by pushing her on the body, causing her to fall.
Sentence was deferred until February 24 for reports and assessments.
