Bizarre attack in park
By Tim Bugler
A MAN walking through a public park was left gobsmacked - after he was slapped on the face with a fish.
With smelly scales sticking to his reddening cheek, shocked Alan Binnie called cops after the bizarre assault by attacker David Evans.
Police arrested Evans nearby - but by that time the fish had vanished.
Prosecutor Neil MacGregor told Falkirk Sheriff Court that Mr Binnie was approached by Evans, who demanded:"Do you want to kiss my fish?"
Mr MacGregor said: "Mr Binnie made no reply and walked on.
"At this point, the accused said, 'You f*****g answer me next time I ask you to kiss a fish', and slapped him round the face with it."
Mr Binnie, 20, was unable to tell officers what kind of fish it was.
Evans, 22, of Grangemouth Stirlingshire, admitted the attack in the town's Zetland Park. He also admitted being on bail at the time of the incident in May.
Hearing Sheriff Craig Caldwell deferred sentence until later this week for the case to be dealt with along with other matters involving Evans.
Defence lawyer Murray Aitken gave no explanation for the attack, saying he would reserve his speech in mitigation until the adjourned hearing.
Evans, who is currently in custody, was led away by Reliance officers.
He could face up to six months in jail.
