Nightclub glass assault denied

A MAN has continued to deny allegations that he struck a woman with a glass in a city centre nightclub.

Prosecutors allege that Kevin Delaney, 34, of Rockwell Place, carried out the attack at Pout, St Andrews Street, on December 21 last year.

Delaney is accused of assaulting the woman by throwing a glass, which struck her on the head, to her injury.

The offence was allegedly committed while Delaney was subject to a bail order.

Delaney is scheduled to stand trial at Dundee Sheriff Court later this month.

A MAN allegedly behaved abusively in a police van after attending an illegal gathering during lockdown.

Jamie Locherty, of Catterline Crescent, also denies attacking a police officer at the West Bell Street headquarters on April 12.

It is alleged Locherty breached coronavirus regulations by being at an unauthorised gathering on Strathmartine Road.

He denies leaving his house and being part of a gathering of more than two people, refusing to go home and refusing to enter his home after being taken there by police.

The 33-year-old then allegedly shouted, swore, repeatedly struck his head off the inside of a police van, repeatedly spat inside the van and struggled with officers.

PC Daniel Stirling was also allegedly kicked on the leg by Locherty.

Following an intermediate diet hearing at Dundee Sheriff Court, Locherty was ordered to stand trial later this month.
