Derry Magistrates' Court
A man has been given a suspended sentence at Derry Magistrates' Court for disorderly behaviour in Altnagelvin Hospital and assaulting a member of hospital staff.
Callum Brown (19) of no fixed abode was charged with the offences that occurred on April 24 this year.
Brown was found to be sleeping on a bed in the hospital and, when staff tried to rouse him, he lashed out, assaulting one member of staff.
Defence solicitor Paddy MacDermott said that Brown had pleaded guilty to the charges, adding that he came from a difficult background and asking the court to consider giving him 'something hanging over him' as opposed to jail time.
Deputy District Judge Laura Ivers called the case 'very serious', sentencing Brown to three months in custody, suspended for twelve months.
