A 50-year-old Broadwell man has been sent for jury trial at Gloucester Crown Court on two charges of assault and one of criminal damage.

At Cheltenham Magistrates’ Court on June 13th, Paul Jones, of Queensway, Broadwell, pleaded not guilty to unlawfully and maliciously wounding Angelo Arslan in Coleford on June 12th.

He also denied damaging a gate owned by Mr Arslan on the same date and assaulting Amelia Hancock by beating her at Coleford on June 11.

The magistrates directed Crown Court trial on the charges and bailed Mr Jones pending his first appearance at the higher court on July.

They made it a condition of his bail that he must not contact his alleged victims or go to the Ritmos Tapas Bar in Coleford.
