(about 5 hours later) | |
A 20-year-old man has appeared in court charged with raping a woman in Londonderry on Friday. | |
Aaron Francis Hyland, from Cranbrook Court, Belfast, denies the offence. | |
He was also charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and a number of other offences. | |
Londonderry Magistrates' Court heard the alleged attack happened at a house in Glenabbey Drive. The alleged victim, a 23-year-old woman, is in a serious but stable condition in hospital. | |
Mr Hyland was also charged with possessing a claw hammer with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, assaulting and threatening to kill a police officer and possessing cannabis. | |
When the defendant appeared in the dock members of the victim's family stood up and pointed their fingers at him. | |
The judge said while he appreciated that a young woman was in hospital seriously ill he would not tolerate any threatening behaviour during the court appearance. | |
A police officer told the court he could connect Mr Hyland to all of the charges. | |
He was remanded in custody. |
