"He thereafter withdrew the knife and put his head in his hands saying ‘what am I doing?’”
The Depute said the accused had said he had not meant to cause the complainer harm but was ‘trying to teach him a lesson’. Police were contacted.
Wishart’s defence lawyer said his client could not remember the incident but that he takes responsibility for his actions.
