The next day, whilst at Police Headquarters, he spat at a sergeant twice.
The 26-year-old admitted assaulting her, and the police officer, during an appearance at Douglas Courthouse.
A social enquiry report has been requested before he’s sentenced on 22 August; an application for bail was refused and he was remanded at the Isle of Man Prison.
