Man Charged Over Co L'Derry Bar Assaults
A man is facing a series charges following a number of bar assaults in Co L'Derry over the weekend.
The 31-year-old was apprehended in Claudy on Saturday night, 24 August, following a disturbance at a bar on church street when he reportedly assaulted a number of customers.
He is charged with criminal damage and possession of a firearm in suspicious circumstances after also damaging property in the bar.
Police located the suspect later that evening in a caravan on the Gortilea Road where he was observed in possession of a long barrelled firearm. Officers instructed him to drop the weapon, which he eventually did.
Chief Inspector Donna Bowden said: "I want to take this opportunity to commend the professionalism and resilience shown by officers last night in the face of what was undoubtedly a hostile and very challenging situation."
The suspect appeared at L'Derry Magistrates Court on Monday morning, 26 August, where he was remanded in custody.
