A Disney worker went on the rampage in his office and attacked two police officers after a booze-fuelled lunch break.

Owain Houston, 35, “exploded” and repeatedly shouted ‘F*** Disney’ after downing pints and shots in a nearby pub.

He attacked colleagues and hurled computers around the call centre, causing £15,000-worth of damage.

Cardiff Crown Court heard he snapped after being asked to take a call for a colleague about the DisneyLife app.

Paul Hewitt, prosecuting, said: “He threw his head-set down and shouted out ‘F*** Disney’. He then entered some sort of rage whereby he has walked through the premises smashing up equipment.

“He has taken computer monitors and thrown them causing damage and he has taken whiteboards and thrown those.”

Other staff at the DisneyLife call centre were described as “shocked” by his rage.

He then bumped into police officers dealing with a possible suicidal man teetering on the edge of a building.

Houston kicked a police van and then attacked the officers, swinging his arms like a windmill.

They used CS gas on him but it had little effect, and he was eventually caught after running from the scene.

Houston admitted ABH, assault, assaulting a police officer and criminal damage.

He was given a 12-month suspended jail term, ordered to perform 160 hours of unpaid work and told to pay £1,200 compensation.
