He is due to appear at Enniskillen Magistrates court on Monday.During the early hours of Sunday, five officers responded to report of domestic assault in Antrim were they were attacked by a man with a large piece of broken glass.
In a separate incident in Belfast, a 34-year-old man was charged with assaulting a police officer, criminal damage and disorderly behaviour after he was arrested following a disturbance in Union Street during the early hours of Sunday. He is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates on 3 November.
