Rory McGrath was brought to the UK last year and is now standing trial
A man has been extradited from the US so he can stand trial in Leeds for assaulting a police constable over 40 years ago.
The court was told Mr McGrath maintains he remained in the pub. The victim, Ms Stephenson said, is now retired police officer, Ian Geoffrey Moore, who had come across a group of youths, including one who was swearing. The barrister said: "His friend told him to 'shut up, there's a copper' and he said 'I'm not f****** bothered about those b*******.'
PC Moore, the court heard, was then kicked by a number of people and Ms Stephenson said, in his words, he was "taking a kicking". He chased after the group to the Miner's pub and managed to grab one of the group as they tried to get into a white vehicle.
