A New Craigs hospital out-patient who frightened nursing staff as they tried to give him an injection for his psychosis was told to behave himself for the next six months or be jailed.
Scott Lindsay, of Creag Dubh Terrace, Inverness, admitted a charge of threatening behaviour at the hospital, which occurred on November 11 last year.
Fiscal depute Fiona Murray told the court that the 44-year-old had gone there for an anti-psychotic injection, but was an hour early.
