A man who lost his limbs in a horror train crash that admitted being aggressive to women and children has avoided jail.

Thomas Proudfoot, 25, lashed out at a Day Today convenience store in Glasgow's Anniesland on June 26, 2021.

The quadruple amputee, who has prosthetic arms and legs, shouted, swore and uttered threats.

He went on to hit glass bottles, causing them to fall to the ground and smash.

The charge states Proudfoot went on to behave in an aggressive manner towards women and children.

Proudfoot was locked up for seven years in 2014 after being convicted of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl near his former home in Clydebank.

He subjected her to a terrifying ordeal during which he kicked her on the head and body, and launched a horrific sexual attack.

He also exposed himself and made sexual demands of his terrified victim during the onslaught.

Proudfoot had earlier used his metal arm to break a man's jaw before attacking a police officer.

Proudfoot lost his limbs in 2012 after he was struck by a train in Bearsden.

His injuries were so severe and life-threatening, he was left with prosthetic limbs including the false arm and metal claw.

Proudfoot pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner at the Day Today store.

He also admitted an identical earlier offence at the store on March 31, 2021.

David O'Hagan, defending, told the court that Proudfoot was unable to undertake unpaid work and served the equivalent of 10 months on remand for the matter.

Proudfoot was placed under supervision for two years at today's sentencing.

He is also subject to a conduct requirement to stay in his grandmother's home in Perth between 7pm and 7am for four months.

Sheriff Tony Kelly told him: "These were cowardly offences which must have caused considerable upset for those involved.

"You did not pay any attention to the upset or the suffering you caused and this is a case which merits custody.

"I am willing to step back due to the time on remand you served.

"This order will be a direct alternative to custody."
