Street fighting leads to £550 fine for man at Derry court
A man who was found fighting on the street with another man has been fined at Derry Magistrate's Court after being charged with disorderly behaviour.
Ryan Murphy (29) of Mount Vernon in Derry was charged in connection with an incident that occurred on September 26 after police found two men fighting in the street.
The court heard that police initially spoke to the two men involved in the incident before leaving the scene, only to have to turn back when the two started fight again.
Both men were arrested at the scene after being seen by police to be punching and kicking each other.
The court heard during the hearing on Monday that the fight was not captured on CCTV.
Defence solicitor Keith Kyle said that Murphy has 'a limited record'.
The solicitor also said that Murphy and the other man knew each other.
Murphy was fined £550 for disorderly behaviour.
