An Irish citizen who was booted out of the US and extradited to Britain over a 41-year-old pub brawl said the ordeal was a “nightmare”.
Rory McGrath was shocked when about a dozen officers from the US Marshals Service turned up at his front door in New York with guns drawn.
What followed was a months-long ordeal that saw Mr McGrath sent back to the UK, where he sat in jail for seven months awaiting trial away from his wife and two children back in the States.
