A man spat at police officers and told them he had Covid-19 after they were called to deal with an incident on a bus.
The PSNI in Newry received a report of two rowdy passengers on a bus in the city yesterday (Thursday) and responded.
When they arrived, they detained a man on suspicion of drugs offences following the discovery of a package containing pills (main image) and criminal damage.
He was also arrested for attempted grievous bodily harm after he spat at offices and told them he had Covid-19.
The man has now been released on bail.
