Engages in fighting or threatening, or in violent or tumultuous behavior;
Makes unreasonable noise or offensively coarse utterance, gesture or display, or addresses abusive language to any person present; or
Creates a hazardous or physically offensive condition by any act which serves no legitimate purpose of the actor.
Public means affecting or likely to affect persons in a place to which the public has access; among the places included are highways, schools, prisons, apartments, places of business or amusement, or any neighborhood.
