FIFE MAN JAILED FOR VIOLENT ATTACK ON STRANGER AT BUS STATION

A 37-year man, who viciously attacked a complete stranger for no reason at a Fife bus station, was today jailed.

The victim was left bruised and bleeding by the unprovoked assault at Ferrytoll Park and Ride in Inverkeithing by thug Lewis Kellock (pictured), who had been taking drugs beforehand.

Kellock, of Julian Court, Glenrothes, appeared at Dunfermline Sheriff Court for sentencing by video-link from prison, having been remanded at the previous hearing.

He admitted that on 30th December at Ferrytoll park and ride, he assaulted a man by repeatedly punching him on the head, repeatedly pursuing him, struck him on the head, punched him on the head, causing him to fall and strike his head, all to his injury.

He also shouted, swore, acted aggressively and repeatedly made threats of violence.

Depute fiscal Matthew Knapp said Kellock was acting aggressively in the waiting room area and was spoken to by a member of staff.

He reacted by shouting and swearing, saying, “Youse are all against me”.

He then began pointing at a man who was waiting for a bus, challenging him to fight.

The 35-year-old man tried to walk away but Kellock punched him to the head and body.

Kellock followed the man outside and punched him again. The victim fell to his knees as Kellock continued to swing blows at him.

The man’s nose was bleeding and Kellock was making threats to kill him.

The victim was punched again and fell back, striking his head.

The man swiped at Kellock’s legs trying to defend himself. Kellock then said, “I’m going to get people to come after you.”

Police were called and when officers arrived Kellock was still “shouting and pointing into the face” of the victim.

The court was told Kellock has no recollection of the incident because of the drugs he had taken.

Sheriff Susan Duff told Kellock, “You committed an unprovoked attack on a complete stranger” and jailed him for 29 weeks.
