A man has been arrested and charged over a public order and assault incident in Co Roscommon.

The man, aged in his 20s, refused to provide his details and refused to co-operate.

He then became aggressive and was advised to move from the area under the Public Order Act.

The man refused and was arrested as a result.

While being transported to Castlerea Garda station he began spitting in the direction of a Garda member.

He is due to appear before a special sitting of Carrick on Shannon District Court later.
