A MAN was granted $5,000 bail in a Magistrate’s Court yesterday after being accused of hitting a police officer with his car and resisting arrest.

Cyril Gaitor, 56, faced Magistrate Shaka Serville on charges of causing grievous harm, assault with a dangerous instrument and resisting arrest.

It is alleged that the accused assaulted Police Constable 4384 Antonio Bethel with his silver coloured 2001 Honda Accord, on November 29 resulting in the officer being injured. On the same day at around 12.30am, it is reported that Gaitor resisted arrest by PC Bethel.

In court, Gaitor pleaded not guilty to all charges. He was granted $5,000 bail with one or two sureties.

His trial is set for April 11, 2023.
