A man was attacked by a former friend during an incident at a shop in Kincardine.

The assailant was 26-year-old Dylan Fawcett, who was brandishing a bottle at a Co-op store.

Fawcett, formerly of Kincardine, now living at Hallpark, Sauchie, has appeared for sentencing at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.

He admitted that on February 5 last year at the Co-op, Silver Street, Kincardine, he shouted, swore, acted aggressively, challenged a man to fight and brandished a glass bottle.

He then assaulted the man by repeatedly attempting to strike him on the head to his injury.

Depute fiscal Catherine Stevenson said the incident took place at around 11am when Fawcett entered the shop, apparently intoxicated.

Fawcett targeted a man in the shop, shouting “P***k” at him and challenged him to fight.

He then picked up a bottle of alcohol and brandished it at him.

Defence solicitor Aime Allan said: “There had been difficulties in the area. The complainer was supposed to be his friend but it turned out he wasn’t.”

“Their relationship had broken down. He had taken alcohol and ran into him at the shop.”

Sheriff Neil Kinnear imposed a community payback order with a year’s supervision.
