Cops Nick Drinker For Hurling Abuse


A boozy late-night straggler who asked police for directions ended his evening in custody after screaming: "Stop and listen you fucking wankers!"

Cops did not take kindly to 27 year-old Ilie Grith's drunken outburst near the Bank of England and arrested him on the spot.

Grith, of Warren Road, Leyton, East London pleaded guilty at City of London Magistrates' Court (pictured) to being drunk and disorderly in King William Street on June 19.

The court heard the defendant, who had been drinking all day at a concert in Victoria Park, Homerton, approached a police car stopped at traffic lights and asked for information about the next train home.

The officers drove away, but quickly doubled-back after Grith's foul-mouthed rant and arrested the "agitated" defendant.

Grith, who was arrested for a similar drink-related offence when trying to get into a club in December, 2008 told the court: "I knew I had to get home. I just felt ignored, that's why I acted stupid."

He was conditionally discharged for six months.
