A HAWICK man will stand trial next month on a charge of assaulting a man to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement in a Galashiels pub.

Colin Richardson, of Charles Street, denies headbutting the man and causing him to fall to the floor.

The 20-year-old also denies repeatedly punching him on the head and body whereby he was rendered unconscious.

The alleged assault is said to have taken place in the Gluepot in Overhaugh Street, on October 31, 2015.

A trial has been set for Selkirk Sheriff Court on June 12.
