Derry Magistrate’s Court spoke to McBay following an assault and he had blood on his face.

He refused to tell police what happened, stating ‘f*** off’ and attempted to push past the officers.

The 32-year-old was arrested and spat ‘bloodied saliva’ at an officer, hitting him on the leg. He also spat blood inside a police vehicle.
