A man accused of spitting blood in the face of police officers during the coronavirus pandemic has been remanded in custody.
Samuel Konneh, 38, appeared in the dock at Manchester magistrates’ court where he was refused bail by District Judge John Temperley.
Humayun Khan, prosecuting, told the court Konneh is accused of four counts of attempted grievous bodily harm with intent relating to the spitting at the officers.
They were responding to reports of a woman being assaulted on Yew Tree Road, Withington, on Thursday when the defendant allegedly spat at them.
