Stanley Marsh, of no fixed address, admitted assaulting an emergency worker and theft when he appeared before Bristol magistrates on Tuesday 4th June.
Marsh also admitted using threatening and abusive words or behaviour with intent to cause fear of violence and breaching a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).
Police received reports that Marsh was harassing members of the public and pushing them at the Sainsbury’s Local on Saw Close at around 8.30pm on Sunday 2nd June.
When a PCSO attended, Marsh became abusive and threw a glass bottle at them.
Marsh was already subject to a CBO which banned him from entering Bath city centre.
Inspector Jon Nash, from the Bath Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “Marsh’s behaviour was completely unacceptable.
“He intimidated members of the public, shoplifted and physically assaulted a PCSO.
“The CBO he was subject to was in place to prevent him from causing trouble, and by jailing him for 20 weeks, magistrates have sent a strong message that if an individual breaches their CBO, they will face a significant penalty.”
