A drunken man used "rude and vulgar words" towards police after saying he was having a panic attack.
Paul James Gilding was outside St Ann's Police Station when he said he required police assistance, magistrates in Nottingham heard.
He said if he did not get the help he needed he would "attack someone".
"He was sat on the floor using the police speaker phone used to telephone the call handler," said Becky Allsop, prosecuting.
"He was clearly drunk, from the officer's statement. He said his girlfriend would not let him in their address and he did not have anywhere to stay. He told the officer he struggles with his mental health and takes medication and had slurred speech".
The officer suggested he could go to hospital and he agreed with that.
He was asked if he was going to have a panic attack and he disputed that. He shouted at the officer and made a rude comment, the court heard.
He said "if you won't help, I will walk back to my home and assault a member of the public I pass".
Police felt concerned for him and asked him to speak with a mental health nurse.
"The words he used were increasingly rude and vulgar," added Ms Allsop.
He told officers he had drunk four bottles of Desperados beer and a couple of double whiskeys. He continued with his abuse. The mental health team could do nothing further.
Gilding, 30, of Brandreth Avenue, St Ann's, went on to be charged with being drunk and disorderly in St Ann's Well Road on July 27, and pleaded guilty on October 30.
Magistrates conditionally discharged him for 12 months and require him to pay a victim surcharge of £22 and costs of £85.
