Terence Archer, 57, from Tipton, was arrested on August 27, this year, after officers answered a 999 call from a woman in distress.

Archer, from Crown Walk, followed the woman off a bus and was met by two police officers. After they took his bus ticket he headbutted a male PC in the face.

He was arrested and charged with assaulting an emergency worker, for which he pleaded guilty at Dudley Magistrates Court on Thursday.

Prosecuting Mrs Maggie Meakin said: "The police had a call from a female who said Mr Archer had been following her around West Bromwich High Street. Whilst telling the operator about being followed the phone call was terminated.
