Knife yob bawled 'fat b*****' at disabled neighbour and rammed burger through her letterbox

A thug shoved a hamburger through his disabled neighbour's letterbox after calling her a "fat b******".

Alan Harvey was jailed today for the vicious outburst after flying into a rage at a block of flats in Drumchapel.

The 39-year-old bawled at Elizabeth Britton after she told him to "get a grip" when he kicked off.

The frightened 63-year-old quickly tried to close the door on Harvey.

But, prosecutor Mark Allan told Glasgow Sheriff Court: "He began shouting and swearing at her.

"He calling her a 'fat b******' and other derogatory comments.

"Harvey then shoved some food - a hamburger - through her letterbox."

He went on to call his neighbour "handicapped".

Harvey was later stopped by a concierge at the flats and found to have a four-inch knife.

When police then turned up, he was also clutching two metal poles.

Harvey pled guilty to acting in a threatening and abusive manner towards Miss Britton aggravated by prejudice to her disability.

He also admitted possession of the knife, metal poles and breaching bail.

Sheriff Martin Jones also imposed a 12 month non-harassment order preventing Harvey from contacting the victim.
