A FLINTSHIRE man who claimed he had been beaten up as he left a party had to be sprayed with incapacitant as police struggled to arrest him.

Magistrates in Prestatyn heard police were called to a disturbance in Prince Edward Avenue, Rhyl, at 6.30am on June 10 and Stefan Revatto told them he had been assaulted.

They suspected he had been involved but when they went to arrest him he shouted: “Get the f... off me, I’ve done nothing wrong”.

He tried to barge his way between the officers and then refused to stand up as they tried to put him into a car.

Revatto, 24, of Ffordd Marian, Gronant, pleaded guilty to using threatening behaviour and to breaching a criminal behaviour order imposed by Llandudno Magistrates for a similar offence in July, 2015.
