A man accused of breaching his release conditions has been remanded in custody after allegedly striking a police officer in the face.

The 21-year-old, of Littlebrook Manor Way, Dartford is alleged to have breached his licence following a burglary offence.

While at the front counter, he is alleged to have struck a police officer in the face.

Holt has been charged with actual bodily harm and appeared before Medway Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
