Police have issued an appeal for information after a female nurse was assaulted and placed in a headlock during an incident at a Belfast hospital earlier this month.
The alleged assault took place at the Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital on Saturday January 11.
A 34-year-old man arrested at the scene appeared in court on Monday charged with offences including disorderly behaviour, common assault and possession of Class B drugs.
