A POLICE officer appeared in court today charged with assault.
Pc Nicholas Munnelly denied one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm at Newcastle Crown Court.
The charges relate to an incident on August 30 last year, in which a man was injured.
During the hearing, Munnelly, 30, from Ashington in Northumberland, spoke only to confirm his name and to enter his not guilty plea.
The case was listed for trial in November.
