Soldier charged with harassment, police attack

A soldier yesterday denied charges related to the harassment of his former girlfriend, attacking policemen and causing criminal damage.

Ronnie Mackay, 29, of Ħamrun, spotted the woman walking along the Valletta Waterfront at around 5 a.m. and lost his temper when he realised she was with another a man.

As he tried to speak to her an argument ensued during which he allegedly pushed her to the floor. She made her way to the Valletta police station to file a report with him in pursuit.

At the station, he allegedly struck a window and smashed it.

Mr Mackay, who denied the charges, was granted bail against a personal guarantee of €3,000 and told not to approach the woman.
