A man walked into a police station in Glasgow whilst carrying heroin.
John McGrath attended Easterhouse police office on December 5, 2020, as part of registration requirements.
Officers had reason to search the 37-year-old and found a small bag containing 0.19 grams of heroin.
He became agitated and struck an officer to the face, resulting in his nose bleeding.
McGrath, from Castlemilk, then resisted arrest but was soon handcuffed. He was not cautioned and charged due to his volatile behaviour.
