The court heard that on Wednesday, February 26 this year, police attended the defendant’s home address at the request of the NI Ambulance Service regarding the assault of a man.
A prosecutor said police were met at the door by the defendant who had a “gash on his forehead and blood on his face”.
“It was a domestic incident and when police were dealing with the defendant he became aggressive and pushed a police constable to his chest and kicked him in the thigh,” said a prosecutor.
Deputy District Judge Jonathan Dunlop said: “It seems to be that things have got out of hand on this day.”
He imposed a 12 months Conditional Discharge.
