Police had to use batons and CS spray to incapacitate a Derry man who is charged with assaulting police officers and motoring offences.
It’s also alleged that the 30-year-old man left a local doctor in a ‘very distressed’ state after making comments about where she lived as she examined him.
Gerard Given, of Circular Road in the city, has been charged with possessing an offensive weapon in a public place, namely a metal bar, driving a car when unfit through drink or drugs, and three counts of assaulting police officers.
