Man jailed for exposing himself in town centre

A man has been jailed for threatening people with a broken bottle and exposing himself in Huntingdon.

Paul Green, 37, was described by witnesses as appearing heavily intoxicated as he staggered around the town centre aggressively approaching passers-by at about 1.40pm on 11 May.

He approached one man, who pushed him away causing Green to fall to the ground.

Green remained in the area and persisted with being abusive to people walking by.

He became particularly aggressive to one man, who punched Green causing him again to lose his balance. In response, Green produced a glass bottle from his pocket and lunged towards the man. However, he fell over and the bottle smashed.

He picked up the broken neck and swung it towards the man again, before members of the public got between them.

In response to this, Green exposed himself to onlookers and continued to act aggressively before police arrived and he was arrested.

Following his arrest, it was reported that earlier Green had pushed a vulnerable man and grabbed him by his throat.

Green, of Charnwood Close, Peterborough, admitted affray, possession of an offensive weapon, common assault and exposure.

On Friday (16 August) at Peterborough Crown Court he was jailed for seven months. He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register for seven years.
