Gardai have arrested a man âin connection with the attempted murder of an off duty PSNI officerâ.
A Belfast man accused of harassing Jamie Bryson and another loyalist is living under “a verifiable threat from paramilitaries”, Londonderry’s Magistrates Court was told on Wednesday.
Robert Beck (53), whose address was given as a B&B in the Northland Road area of the city, was arrested on Tuesday evening after he failed to stop at a police checkpoint near Drumahoe on the outskirts of Derry.
A PSNI officer told Deputy District Judge Sean O’Hare that when the car was eventually stopped, police found a knuckle duster inside and a knife in one of the defendant’s pockets.
Objecting to bail, the officer said that as well as being charged over the knuckle duster and knife, Beck was charged with driving without insurance, failing to stop and driving a car with false number plates.
