A MAN is due before Belfast Magistrates Court today following an incident in the Sydenham Road area of east Belfast.

The 35-year-old has been charged with a number of driving offences.

It follows an earlier police appeal about a woman in distress on the Sydenham Road area around 7pm on Friday.

Police said the woman was seen getting out of a vehicle and running in the direction of Frazer Street.

Chief Inspector Mark Roberts said: "Our enquiries are continuing to try and identify the female involved."
