Andrew Davies bizarrely started lying in roads so passing motorists would think he was injured and stop.

The attention seeker also made prank calls to the emergency services.

It was when police told him to give up his phone that Andrew resorted to 'falling over' in front of motorists.

His ASBO means he will have to go to court if he feigns injury or calls the police or ambulance services unless it's an actual emergency.

PC Chris Allman, of Thames Valley Police, said: "Davies came to police attention initially by making time-wasting phone calls to the emergency services. On most occasions he would be intoxicated.

"When dealt with by a police and council joint team he gave away his telephone to stop the temptation. However he then took to pretending to fall in the street near his home as a way of attracting attention to himself.

"He would lay there feigning injury until an ambulance attended."

Andrew feigned injury so much that local motorists started to recognise him and did their best to ignore him.

PC Allman added: "He has been offered support from numerous agencies and given many opportunities to change his behaviour."
