Two thugs launched a washing machine, radiators and a hoover out a third-floor window at cops after they came to break up a noisy party.
Nathan Hill and Ajdin Husic rained missiles down at officers as laughter could be heard coming from the East Lothian flat.
Haddington’s High Street was left littered with glass after bottles and crockery were hurled and a Police Scotland vehicle was damaged.
Hill later jumped from a second-floor window to try and evade officers, injuring his ankle before being caught.
Both Hill and another partygoer, Sophie Dudgeon, also aimed vile abuse at cops who arrested them.
Hill, 30, appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday while Husic, 25, appeared via jail video link from the city’s Saughton Prison.
Both admitted acting culpably and recklessly by throwing multiple items out the window, endangering police officers. Hill pled guilty to making homophobic remarks to officers.
Fiscal depute Heather Carmichael said officers responded to a report of a “noisy party” at Husic’s flat at around 10.50pm on June 19 last year.
She said Husic answered the door and appeared “under the influence of something”.
Husic denied there was a noise issue and said only his brother and a pal were in his flat, the court was told. Husic denied them access to his property where officers could hear several voices inside.
Ms Carmichael said the officers returned to the street when they “became aware of the sound of smashing glass”.
She said bottles thrown from Husic’s flat were “landing in close proximity to where officers were walking”.
The prosecutor said further bottles then other items, including a washing machine and hoover, were thrown.
Roads and paths around the scene were closed, the court heard, as swearing, laughter and shouting came from Husic’s flat.
Ms Carmichael said four people later emerged from the address, including Dudgeon who was detained.
She said a 999 call then came from a member of the public who’d seen a man lying injured in a garden in nearby Langriggs.
Officers found Hill “curled up and hiding in a bush” there, Ms Carmichael said, and Husic was also present. Hill hurt himself after “jumping from a second floor flat and landing on a paint pot”, she added.
The court heard Hill, of Haddington, called officers p**fs” as they waited for paramedics to arrive. Cautioned and charged by an officer, Hill replied: “You’re a wee puff.”
Dudgeon, 18, of Tranent, East Lothian, was excused attendance in court but had a guilty plea accepted to behaving in a threatening and abusive manner at St Leonards police station.
Awaking at 12.30pm on June 20 in a cell, Ms Carmichael said Dudgeon shouted threats at officers, calling them “f*****g paedos” and saying their “children would die”.
Defence agent Murray Robertson, acting for Hill, said his client was a plumber who’d recently become a father. The solicitor admitted Hill engaged in “frankly shocking behaviour”.
Defence agent Calum Turner, acting for Husic, said his flat tenancy had been “brought to a swift conclusion” following the incident.
Andrew Docherty, defence agent for Dudgeon, said she was “embarrassed by her behaviour”.
Sheriff Kenneth Campbell QC deferred sentence on Hill and Husic until January 22 for reports. He deferred sentence on Dudgeon for six month.
