A man accused of abducting and assaulting a two-year-old boy mistook him for his son as he was "hopelessly intoxicated", a court has heard.
Londonderry Magistrates Court heard there was no sexual undercurrent to the incident in the city on Wednesday.
A defence lawyer said Patrick Feely, 36, of Linenhall Street in Limavady, had no recollection of the incident.
The accused was released on bail and ordered to abstain from alcohol. He is to appear in court again next month.
The court heard police were called to the area after three people made a citizen's arrest.
