Thug threatened to chop up police
A THUG threatened to slit police officers’ throats “like sushi” and “chop them up”.
Eric Black, 29, blocked the path of a runner on Overton Road, Cambuslang and brandished a meat cleaver that had the words “for chopping c***” on the handle.
He was later found by police in a garden, where he was arrested and spat on PC James Petrie’s face.
The meat cleaver was pointed out to officers and taken from a nearby bin. While on his way to a police station with the officers, Brown said “I’ll slit your f ****** throat like sushi” and branded them all “monsters”.
Black, from Cambuslang, pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to having the blade on him on May 22, at Overton Road and Cedar Court, assaulting PC Petrie and behaving in a threatening or abusive manner towards PC Petrie and PC Paul Blair.
A couple in Overton Road saw Black brandishing the knife at a jogger before walking away.
The court heard it had a blade of nearly six and a half inches and the word “for chopping c***” written on the handle.
Black was taken in a police car to Cathcart Police office by PCs Blair and Petrie. During the course of the journey he shouted “I’ll slit your throat like sushi, pretty boy” and “You’re all f ****** monsters, picking on a wee boy, wait till I get out, I’m gonnae chop you up.”
He was kept in police custody for his appearance at court the following day.
Sheriff Andrew Cubie deferred sentence until next month and remanded Black in custody.
