A man was arrested after shouting and swearing at police officers outside a fast food takeaway in the centre of Norwich's nightclub district.

Police had been flagged down by staff at Master Chef on Prince of Wales Road as another officer was trying to deal with Andy Boyd, 41, who was "behaving in an aggressive manner".

Norwich Magistrates' Court heard Boyd was "shouting and swearing", when approached by the officers on August 25 this year.
