Cayzer, who has committed more than 60 offences dating back to 1973 when he was aged 10 or 11, swore at a female officer and told her he would throw her down a flight of stairs.
Subsequently he swore, threatened and abused a male officer making reference to his colour.
Police were called to the flats where Cayzer on an unrelated matter which transpired to be a misunderstanding.
Sentencing Cayzer Judge David Goodin told him: “These are ugly offences because police officers - even though on analysis it may be they had been misinformed about the true position - they were acting in accordance with their duty to investigate it and deserve much better from you than they got.
“However, it would not be fair not to acknowledge that you had not been guilty on any crime warranting an arrest or questioning. You have a bad record of inability to respond well to authority.”
