Suspect in court after reportedly assaulting friend and officers in Kent
It's alleged a man struck the victim in the head and face
A suspect has appeared in court charged with multiple assaults in Gravesend.
Shortly after midnight on Tuesday (17 December), a woman visited a friend at some flats in Overcliffe to check on her welfare, as there appeared to be a disturbance.
When the door was opened it is reported she was struck on the head and face.
The victim left the scene and the police were immediately contacted.
Patrols attended a short time later and a man was detained.
Following the arrest it is alleged several constables were assaulted and a police vehicle was spat in.
Connor Black, of Knightrider Street, Maidstone, was later charged with assault by beating, criminal damage and five counts of assaulting an emergency worker.
The 26-year-old appeared before Medway Magistrates’ Court yesterday (18 December).
He was remanded to a hearing at Sevenoaks Magistrates’ Court on Christmas Eve.
