A man's attempts to pick fights with people ended in failure because he was so drunk, Barnsley Magistrates' Court was told.

 

Andrew Harrison, 20, could hardly stand as he made a nuisance of himself in Peel Square, said Jayne Ormrod, prosecuting.

 

She said Harrison tried to evade police but was unsuccessful. He fell over and needed six stitches in his chin.

 

Mrs Ormrod added that officers were alerted by someone whom Harrison had tried to hit.
