A MAN who repeatedly punched his own father acknowledges his behaviour was "poor", a court was told.
Pardeep Singh was previously convicted of assaulting his father by repeatedly pushing him on the body as well as punching him.
At Kyle Gardens in Irvine, he acted in an aggressive manner towards his parents and shouted at them on September 19 last year.
He also assaulted a police officer, repeatedly striking him on the body with his knee.
The 39-year-old also resisted arrest, struggling with officers and pushing and pulling away from them.
He further shouted, swore and uttered derogatory threats towards officers.
Appearing at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court on June 15 for sentencing, Singh's defence solicitor said his client had recently spent a period in custody.
There he had been able to address "misuse of substances and his conduct".
Peter Murray said: "He has remained at the family address and he has been doing everything that is expected of him.
"He is drink-free, drug-free and behaving himself. He does acknowledge his behaviour has been poor.
"In the past, he has struggled with some forms of community disposal. He is fit and able to carry out unpaid work."
Sheriff Morag Fraser placed him under social work supervision for 12 months. He must also complete 120 hours of unpaid work within six months as a direct alternative to custody.
