Man put out of Belfast jailed at Derry Court for three assaults on female

A man who had been put out of Belfast has been jailed at Derry Magistrate's Court for three assaults on a female.

Allan Hanley (36) with an address at Quinton Street in Belfast admitted the offences that occurred on October 19.

The court heard that police were called to Claremont House in Derry and as they responded they were flagged down by the injured party.

She told them the defendant had assaulted her by slapping her, pushing her to the ground and kicking her.

She had an injury to the side of her head which she said was due to the assault.

CCTV was examined and showed the woman running out of the flat pursued by the defendant.

A defence solicitor said his client's life had been 'blighted' by offending.

He said that Hanley had been the victim of an attack in 2012 by men armed with bat's.

He said that his client had been ordered to leave Belfast and that was why he was in the city.

Hanley was sentenced to 10 months in prison.
