Brian O’Neill, 40, pleaded guilty to assaulting the man, and repeatedly striking the windows of the vehicle with a pole while acting alongside two others. Defence solicitor Miss Wallace said that O'Neill accepts that he struck the car but had ‘limited recollection of the incident’ due to drug misuse. “His actions would have had a serious impact on the victim and he feels remorseful for that. Miss Wallace added: “His behaviour appeared to be out of character and more related to his drug use. O’Neill, of Burnhead Street in Greenock, committed the offences on April 21, 2024, on Fintry Road in Greenock.
