A 22-year-old man kneed an officer in the groin after police asked everyone to leave a noisy St Patrick's night party in Banbridge, the local magistrates court has heard.

Connor Quigley of Edenderry Park, Banbridge was fined £250 at the magistrates’ Court last Thursday, for common assault on March 18 this year.

He was also ordered to pay a £15 offender’s levy and £100 compensation to the police officer he assaulted.

The court heard that shortly before 7am on the date in question police went to an address at Golf Terrace in Banbridge , this after having received reports of a noisy house party.

When they arrived at the address and asked everyone to leave, it was said, the defendant became verbally and physically aggressive towards police.
