A Drumchapel yob who turned on his disabled neighbour by branding her a "fat b*****d" - then shoving a hamburger through her letterbox has been jailed for 14 months.
Alan Harvey, 39, flew into a rage at Elizabeth Britton after she told him to "get a grip" following a disturbance at their flats in Drumchapel.
The frightened 63-year-old quickly tried to close the door on Harvey.
But prosecutor Mark Allan told Glasgow Sheriff Court: "He began shouting and swearing at her.
"He calling her a 'fat b*****d' and other derogatory comments.
"Harvey then shoved some food - a hamburger - through her letterbox."
He went on to call his neighbour "handicapped".
Harvey was later stopped by a concierge at the flats and was found to be in possession of a four-inch knife.

When police turned up at the scene, he was also clutching two metal poles.
Harvey had previously pleaded guilty to acting in a threatening and abusive manner towards Miss Britton - an offence which was aggravated by prejudice relating to her disability.
He also admitted possession of the knife and the metal poles, and a further offence breaching bail.
At a hearing on Wednesday, October 29, Sheriff Martin Jones also imposed a 12 month non-harassment order preventing Harvey from contacting the victim.
