A man who was so drunk he was asked to leave Oxford railway station then assaulted a PC was caught later that month with Stanley knife blades in his pocket.

Kieran Law, 22, who admitted a raft of charges at Oxford Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, was said by his solicitor to struggle with alcohol.

The magistrates bailed Law for a pre-sentence report to be prepared, ordering him to return to court on October 8 for sentence.

Outlining the facts of the case, prosecutor Richard Atkins told the justices that Law was drunk at Oxford railway station on October 10 last year.

The young man told station staff that he’d missed his stop and they initially tried to help him to get back to Oxford Parkway.

But after refusing to surrender his bottle of alcohol he was escorted out of the station in handcuffs by a police officer.

He started resisting the officer as the handcuffs were being removed and was taken to the floor. Law hit out with his left hand, striking the officer in the head but causing him no injury.

Later that month, on October 31, officers were called to reports that a woman was threatened in Bicester. They searched Law, who denied making threats to ‘shank’, and found he had two Stanley blades in his jacket. He said they were used for work.

Law, of Heron Drive, Bicester, pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly, assaulting a police officer and possession of a blade. He had no previous convictions.
