A drunk yob who attacked a postman and tried to steal a parcel was given a shock - when his victim turned out to be a former boxing champion. He also pleaded guilty to another assault that happened in West Buchanan Street, Paisley , earlier that day.
On that occasion, Brown attacked 43-year-old John Bisland and robbed him of a can of cider.
John fell to the ground after being punched and had four stitches inserted in a deep gash to his face once he had been taken to Paisley’s Royal Alexandra Hospital.
Paisley Sheriff Court heard that on September 6 last year Kevin couldn’t find the flat he wanted, so he knocked on another door.
Brown answered, stepped towards the postman and put his arm out in a bid to block his exit, reports the Daily Record.
He then grabbed at the mail Kevin was carrying and put his hand at the pugilist postie’s back.
Fearing the yob might be armed with a knife, Kevin punched him and then left the building before phoning the police.
When officers arrived, they found Brown was very drunk and noticed he had a piece of mail that had been taken.
Brown, of Manor Road, Paisley, admitted the offence in court.
He also pleaded guilty to another assault that happened in West Buchanan Street, Paisley , earlier that day.
On that occasion, Brown attacked 43-year-old John Bisland and robbed him of a can of cider.
John fell to the ground after being punched and had four stitches inserted in a deep gash to his face once he had been taken to Paisley’s Royal Alexandra Hospital.
After studying Brown’s record and describing the two latest offences as “particularly serious,” Sheriff Seith Ireland deferred sentence until April 16 for background reports.
Brown was remanded in custody.
