A MAN headbutted a wall during a New Year's Day disturbance at the Greenock home of his ex-partner, it is alleged.

Darren Smith, 26, is also charged with repeatedly punching doors at the property at Whinhill Crescent on January 1 this year.

Smith, whose address was not given in court, has had the matter continued without plea in his absence.

It is due to call again on February 12.
