Yob bricked police car just four days after city centre ban

An "aggressive and violent" yob hurled a brick at a police car outside Liverpool Crown Court - just four days into a three year ban on entering Liverpool city centre.

Mark Thomas is now behind bars after he was caught in the act. Earlier this month the 29-year-old from Bootle was given a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).

Merseyside Police said it followed "numerous convictions for a variety of offences and complaints from the public about his aggressive and violent behaviour".
