A drunk swigging from a wine bottle at Huddersfield Bus Station threatened security staff, a court heard.

Lee Dwyer, 35, refused to leave and then put the bottle down and danced around it, making karate moves towards security officers.

Dwyer, of no fixed address, was escorted out of the bus station but urinated against a wall outside in full view of young children.

Police were called and he was arrested.

Dwyer admitted being drunk and disorderly at the bus station at 5.10pm on Wednesday.

When he appeared before district judge Margaret McCormack at Kirklees Magistrates’ Court the morning after he asked if he could sit down saying: “I feel a bit dizzy.”

Dwyer, who was set to be recalled to prison after being released on licence, was fined £60 with £85 costs and a £20 victim impact charge.

Mr Tariq Bostan, prosecuting, told the Huddersfield court that Dwyer was seen in the bus station in a “drunken state”, drinking from a wine bottle.

Security staff asked him to leave but he became threatening and aggressive.

He said: “I am ex-army and not bothered.”

Mr Bostan said: “Mr Dwyer then put the bottle down and started dancing around it and doing karate moves. The security staff tried to lead him out but he said: ‘You don’t know me and what I can do.’”

The judge asked Dwyer: “Can you remember anything of your behaviour?”

Dwyer, slurring his words, made no intelligible reply.
