Other members of the public, alongside nightclub security, were forced to step in and Kerr was restrained on the ground until police arrived.
A drunk Scot had to be restrained after threatening to “take a man’s face off” outside a popular nightclub.
Liam Kerr, 44, from Edinburgh, was ‘heavily intoxicated’ outside The Liquid Rooms on Victoria Street during the early hours of September 12, 2025.
Kerr was trying to engage with other people outside the club at around 2am, Edinburgh Sheriff Court heard on Wednesday, reports Edinburgh Live.
Kerr and another man then had some sort of disagreement which saw him push the man on the body and act aggressively. He then uttered threats, including telling the man “I will take your face off.”
Other members of the public, alongside nightclub security, were forced to step in and Kerr was restrained on the ground until police arrived. He was taken to St Leonard’s Police Station.
Kerr, who has several previous convictions, pleaded guilty to threatening or abusive behaviour by shouting, swearing, uttering threats of violence and pushing the victim on the body.
He had pleas of not guilty accepted for an assault charge and a separate charge of threatening or abusive behaviour.
Sheriff Stirling imposed a fine of £150 on Kerr, discounted from £200 due to his early plea.
