A PPS prosecutor told the court that the charges were settled and the case was adjourned for one week.

District Judge Mr Paul Copeland imposed a number of bail conditions including a curfew from 10pm to 8am, and told he must have no contact by any means with the injured party.

Mitchell must not enter Cross Heights and he is not permitted to consume alcohol.

Furthermore he must submit to a preliminary breath test if requested by police and reside at Knock Terrace where bail checks will be carried out.

He was released on his own bail of £500.
