A man who caused a disturbance at Kilwinning railway station had his sentence deferred last week.
Pawel Harazin, 32, of Prospecthill Place, Glasgow, pleaded guilty at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court to charges of threatening or abusive behaviour and resisting arrest.
The offences were committed in March.
Katie McColl, prosecuting, said that the ticket collector on the Glasgow-Largs service asked British Transport Police to meet the train at Kilwinning because of a “rowdy crowd of passengers on the train”.
Harazin and another passenger were pointed out to police.
The accused got off the train and was stopped by police.
Said Ms McColl: “He was immediately aggressive, telling the officers to ‘f*** off’, but also shouting aggressively in a foreign language.
“The officers observed that the accused was holding a bottle in his hand and summoned assistance.”
Harazin continued to shout and swear and the police decided to handcuff him “for their own safety”.
They managed to apply one handcuff before he “tensed up, still in possession of the bottle”.
Harazin was taken to the ground and, while there, repeatedly attempted to kick one constable on the head.
He was restrained after the arrival of other officers and taken to Saltcoats police station.
Sheriff Alistair Watson deferred sentence until September 6 and called for a criminal justice social work report.
He also ordered that a Polish interpreter be present on the next occasion.
Sheriff Watson told Harazin, who represented himself: “It would be a good idea as well if you spoke to a lawyer.”
