A TRIAL date has been set for a man accused of assault.
Michael Cooper, 22, of Hood Street in Barrow, is alleged to have assaulted Kenneth Bradford by beating him on September 5.
The defendant is also said to have used threatening words to cause alarm or distress on the same day.
He denies both offences and is due to stand trial at South Cumbria Magistrates Court on March 22.
He has been bailed until that date and has been ordered not to enter Ormsgill, where the alleged incident took place.
