Waterside Railway Station
A man has been jailed at Derry Magistrate's Court charged with assaulting police and disorderly behavior at the local train station.
Stephen Kemp (40) of Bonds Hill in Derry was charged with the offences that occurred on July 23 this year.
Police were called after Kemp was reported to be trying to cause a disturbance at the station and refusing to leave a train going to Belfast.
Police tried to get him to leave the train telling police 'you will need an army' to get him off.
He refused and when police removed him he assaulted one of the officers, hitting him in the face.
