As the Edinburgh University student was being led into the back of a police van he tried to sink his teeth into one officer’s head and bite the second on the leg.
McCrory pleaded guilty to assaulting PCs David Dundas and Callam McNeill when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in November and he returned for sentencing today.
Lawyer Matthew Nicholson, defending, had previously told Sheriff Adrian Cottam his client was in his third year of a masters course in physical education and is currently training to be a high school PE teacher.
Mr Nicholson said any conviction for violence would prompt an investigation into his conduct by the General Teaching Council for Scotland.
