A GUEST who took a hotel worker hostage and caused havoc in the building has been jailed for 39 weeks.

Tariq erupted amid claims he was looking for his daughter.

The guest's horrific conduct included attacking Mr Hassan and breaking into rooms while using a fire extinguisher.

Tariq pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner and assaulting Mr Hassan to his injury.

The court heard Tariq was a guest at the hotel while Mr Hassan was working there as a member of staff.

Tariq forced the room door open where Mr Hassan was working.

Tariq shouted and punched Mr Hassan which resulted in bruising to his face.

The attacker, who was drunk and acting erratically, then began shouting about looking for his daughter.

Tariq then took hold of Mr Hassan and told him to come with him.

Prosecutor Jeremy O'Neill said: "Mr Hassan was put in a state of fear and alarm by Tariq's behaviour and complied with him."

Mr Hassan tried to escape but was snatched back by Tariq.

He then pushed Mr Hassan to the ground which caused him to fall down stairs.

Tariq then dragged Mr Hassan to another hotel room door where he kicked the door and shouted for it to be opened.

He used a fire extinguisher to gain entry putting the occupants of the room in a state of fear and alarm.

Tariq repeated that he was looking for his daughter.

Mr Hassan bravely tried to calm Tariq down but it was to no avail.

The enraged man pulled a roof panel and lighting panel from the ceiling causing damage.

Mr Hassan believed he was going to be barricaded in the room when Tariq left but was able to leave once he knew the coast was clear.

Tariq then entered another room by using the fire extinguisher.

A 999 call was made and an intoxicated Tariq was traced and arrested.

Mr O'Neill added that Tariq caused £1000 of damage to the hotel.

Sheriff Allan McKay told Tariq, of Stoke-on-Trent that the events were "horrendous and horrible."

He added: "The fear you must have put him through is unmentionable.

"This was an effort to terrify these people over a period of time and the effect on them is difficult to me to appreciate sitting here."
