The 29-year-old faced two charges, one of assault to injury and one of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.

A spokeswoman for the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service confirmed Hunter was expected to appear in court again in the next week.
It comes after police officers were called to a house on Lerwick Road in Sheddocksley at 1.30pm on Monday after receiving reports of concern for a person’s welfare.
Police swooped on the cul-de-sac and armed officers could be seen at a fence outside the property.
The road was cordoned off and an ambulance was also on standby.
Police, specialist firearms officers and negotiators were focused on one property in the street.
Fire crews were also at the scene with one appliance sent to assist police.
The incident ended after officers gained entry to the property at around 7pm.
