A teenage lout battered his own mum in the street – because he slept in for college.

The terrified woman was forced to flee in a stranger’s car after Kieran McNally, 18, lost his temper and attacked her.

She sustained injuries to her face, eye socket, hand and arm in the brutal attack.

PAISLEY DAILY EXPRESS: Live news as it happen

At Paisley Sheriff Court yesterday, McNally was caged for 18 months after admitting the cowardly assault.

Depute fiscal Frank Clark told how the yob chased his mother and her dog down the road before pouncing from behind and raining down punches as she pleaded for mercy.

Mr Clark said: “His mum had attempted to wake him to attend college. She was unsuccessful.

“She heard her son eventually rise. He came downstairs. He was angry. She thought it best she leave the house because he was shouting at her. She ran from the house into Dean Park Road.

“She felt the hood of her jacket being pulled back.

“She realised he had left the house and chased after her.

“Pulling on the hood, he caused his mother to fall to the ground.

“She was punched on the head.”

A driver pulled saw him repeatedly beat her around the head and pulled over to help.

Frances ran begging for help from the stranger and got in before speeding off and calling the police.

The rescuer stayed with the traumatised woman until officers were able to reach them.

Mr Clark added: “She was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

“She was treated for swelling and bruising on her face, a cut to her left hand and bruising and swelling to her left arm.”

The court heard the bully had previously tussled with dad Ross and threatened to torch the family home in Don Avenue, Renfrew, which left him needing six stitches.

He had called Frances a “fat useless b*****d” and swore at his father during the rammy on December 14, 2015.

Mr Clark continued: “He got involved with his dad and told him to ‘f**k off’ or he will ‘set the house on fire’.

“A struggled ensued and the father attempted to restrain the accused, at which point he tells him, ‘I’m going to f*****g kill you’.”

The thug was arrested for sparking the drama, but bailed on the condition he kept away from his parents’ street and did not attempt to contact them.

But he breached the terms of release the next night by heading to their address.

McNally spent a month in detention after attacking his mum last November 11 and was bailed on the same conditions.

He again made attempts to get in contact and was rapped by a sheriff.

Defence lawyer Kevin Brady had no explanation for his client’s behaviour, admitting: “There’s not a great deal I can say.”

Sheriff David Pender jailed McNally, of Park Gate, Erskine, for assault, acting in a threatening or abusive manner and two breaches of bail.

He said: “I have a view of the clear and deliberate failure to comply and the assault on your mother means I cannot deal with this in any other way but with a period of detention.”
