A BANNED man has been fined after turning up at Hereford's hospital without an appointment.

He had also used threatening or abusive words or behaviour likely to cause alarm, distress, or harassment to others in Hereford on January 23 and 25, further breaches of his community protection notice.

Cerneckij, who is of no fixed address, was fined a total of £200 and must pay costs of £85 and a £34 victim surcharge.
