AN ALLEGED multiple offender injured a man in a bottle assault before abusing hospital workers and struggling violently with police, prosecutors claim.
Patrick Hurrell is said to have attacked an alleged victim with a bottle on John Wood Street in Port Glasgow.
It is said that the 38-year-old struck the man on the head with the bottle to his injury.
The alleged offence is said to have been carried out while Hurrell was subject to a bail order from June 2021.
It is alleged that Hurrell also shouted, swore and acted in an abusive manner at the accident and emergency department of Inverclyde Royal Hospital in June last year.
He is also accused of resisting, obstructing, or hindering two male police officers at the IRH.
Separate charges have also been libelled of breaching bail curfew restrictions on two occasions in September.
Hurrell, of King Street in the Port, pleaded not guilty through lawyer Gerry Keenan and is due to return to Greenock Sheriff Court in April.
