Allegedly slapped Derry hotel worker across the face
A man has appeared at Derry Magistrate's Court charged with assaulting a member of staff at the City Hotel.
Brian Haran (26) of no fixed abode appeared charged with assaulting the staff member and also disorderly behaviour on November 7.
A police officer connected the accused to the charges.
Police were called to a disturbance at the hotel and heard claims the defendant had been causing a disturbance and had slapped a member of staff across the face.
He was alleged to be shouting obscenities and abuse.
Defence counsel Fergal McCormick said that the defendant had been recently granted emergency accommodation so he did have an address, but if remanded in custody he could lose his address.
District Judge Suzanne Rice the defendant had a 'highly relevant record'.
He was granted bail to an address approved by police, must observe a curfew from 8pm to 8am, wear an electronic tag and not enter Strand Road.
He will appear again on December 3.
