A MAN who allegedly dressed as Spider-Man before mounting a protest on the last day of Bournemouth Air Festival has appeared in court.
Martin Cuff, 32, of no fixed abode, has been charged with causing a public nuisance in connection with an incident that took place on September 1 last year.
During the incident, a man climbed on top of the Cooper Dean flyover carrying a banner which read: “4 Fathers There Is No Justice”.
The Wessex Way was closed southbound for more than two-and-a-half hours during the incident, while motorists travelling northbound were also brought to a halt.
Cuff represented himself during a first hearing at Bournemouth Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
He did not enter a plea.
Magistrates rejected jurisdiction, and the case has been sent to the town’s crown court for trial.
A preliminary hearing will take place at the venue on March 3 at 10am.
