A man who attacked a train driver after he was ordered off the vehicle for vaping reacted angrily in court after a judge refused to grant him bail.

Standing in handcuffs and wearing a police-issue grey tracksuit in the dock of Ballymena Magistrates Court, Stephen Weldon hurled foul-mouthed abuse at District Judge Nigel Broderick as staff escorted him to the cells.
