Man carried out doorstep attack on former friend in Cranhill

Daryl McKenzie, 29, lashed out at Jamie Fleming in Glasgow's Cranhill on September 1, 2025.

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that McKenzie initially banged on Mr Fleming's front door.

Mr Fleming attempted to close the door on McKenzie, who put his foot out to keep it open.

Prosecutor Catherine Macdonald said: "McKenzie forced the door open and punched Mr Fleming to the nose."

Mr Fleming's partner contacted the police, but McKenzie had fled the scene before officers arrived.

The court was told that Mr Fleming suffered a bloody nose.

McKenzie pleaded guilty to assaulting Mr Fleming to his injury.

Neal McShane, defending, told the sentencing: "He is aware that this is a serious matter, attending at someone's house to assault him.

"He was previously a friend of his victim.

"He attended at the property to speak to him about a dispute between the two of them.

"After that discussion, he lost his temper."

Sheriff Bernard Ablett told McKenzie: "You pleaded guilty to a charge of assaulting someone to their injury which in itself is serious.

"You also have previous convictions which includes behaving in a threatening or abusive manner towards others.

"In order to punish you, I will place you on a restriction of liberty order."
